Abstract: The present inventors have demonstrated that circulating auto-antibodies to cancer antigens hold promise as specific and sensitive biomarkers for the early detection of cancer. The present invention thus relates to methods of detecting cancer in a sample, comprising utilising a glycopeptide bait derived from human mucins with different cancer-associated O-glycans. Detected antibodies were demonstrated as glycopeptide specific, and it could be discriminated between e.g. colorectal cancer patients and healthy individuals. The inventors have also developed monoclonal antibodies based on the identified glycopeptides epitope baits, and demonstrated differential expression of the relevant target antigens. The invention thus, in a lock and key-based manner includes both glycopeptides and antibody tools for early detection of cancer, as well as methods of using the same for in situ visualisation and treatment of specific cancer types.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to anti-glyco-CD44 antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof that specifically bind to a cancer-specific glycosylation variant of CD44 and related fusion proteins and antibody-drug conjugates, as well as nucleic acids encoding such biomolecules. The present disclosure further relates to use of the antibodies, antigen-binding fragments, fusion proteins, antibody-drug conjugates and nucleic acids for cancer therapy.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to anti-glyco-MUC1 antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof that specifically bind to a cancer-specific glycosylation variant of MUC1 and related fusion proteins and antibody-drug conjugates, as well as nucleic acids encoding such biomolecules. The present disclosure further relates to use of the antibodies, antigen-binding fragments, fusion proteins, antibody-drug conjugates and nucleic acids for cancer therapy.
