A target antigen for cancer immunotherapy, ganglioside GM2, is expressed on the cell surface of several human cancer types. An efficient chemical synthesis can now make available ample amounts of a structurally well-defined synthetic GM2, free of biological contaminants. This greatly facilitates the systematic construction of safe and efficient GM2 cancer vaccines.
