Minimum recognition unit of a pem mucin tandem repeat specific monoclonal antibody

摘要

The peptide EPPT (Glu-Pro-Pro-Thr) (SEQ ID NO:1) selectively binds a mucin expressed by epithelial tumors. It may be incorporated into larger molecules, such as peptides consisting of the sequence EPPT and further amino acids to form a peptide, and may be radiolabelled or used to guide toxins, etc. to cells expressing the mucin.
