The glycopeptide construct shown was synthesized using a convergent strategy based on oxime chemical ligation. It is composed of a universal T‐helper and three tumor‐related epitopes from the human mucin MUC1, an nonglycosylated repeat unit, and two units glycosylated with the Tn and TF epitopes, respectively. In association with a mild adjuvant suitable for human therapy, this construct elicited a strong specific immune response in mice, directed against natural tumor‐associated structures.
