    Abstract: The present invention provides for an immunogenic composition comprising (a) a glycan, such as Globo H, stage-specific embryonic antigen-3 (SSEA-3) or SSEA-4, conjugated to a carrier protein through a linker; (b) an adjuvant comprising a glycolipid, such as a-galactosyl-ceramide adjuvant, wherein the composition induces an immune response, such as a higher relative level of IgG isotype antibodies compared to IgM isotype antibodies, or neutralising antibodies against at least one antigen selected from the group consisting of Globo H, Gb4, SSEA-3, and SSEA-4. Uses of the immunogenic composition for treating or inhibiting tumour growth are also provided.

    Abstract: A novel UDP-Gal regeneration process and its combined use with a galactosyltransferase to add galactose to a suitable acceptor substrate. Also described herein are synthetic methods for generating Globo-series oligosaccharides in large scale, wherein the methods may involve the combination of a glycosyltransferase reaction and a nucleotide sugar regeneration process.

    Abstract: Immunogenic compositions, cancer vaccines and methods for treating cancer are provided. Compositions comprising: (a) a glycan such as Globo H or an immunogenic fragment thereof, wherein the glycan is conjugated with a carrier protein by a linker such as para-nitrophenyl; and (b) an adjuvant comprising glycolipid capable of binding CDId on a dendritic cell, such as an α-galactosyl-ceramide derivative, wherein the immunogenic composition induces an immune response that induces a higher relative level of IgG isotype antibodies as compared to IgM isotype antibodies, are provided. Immunogenic compositions comprising the carrier protein diphtheria toxin cross-reacting material 197 (DT-CRM 197) and the adjuvant C34 are provided. Antibodies generated by immunogenic compositions disclosed herein further neutralize at least one of the antigens Globo H, stage-specific embryonic antigen-3 (SSEA-3) and stage-specific embryonic antigen-4 (SSEA-4). Therapeutics against breast cancer stem cells comprising immunogenic compositions comprising Globo H, SSEA-3 or SSEA-4 conjugated with DT-CRM 197.
