"The antiserum derived from sTnNPhAc alpha or sTnNPhAc beta-KLH-inoculated mice was similarly reactive to sTnNPhAc alpha and sTnNPhAc but showed very little reactivity to sTn, NeuNPhAc alpha(2,3)GalNAc-a regioisomer of sTnNPhAc, isolated phenylacetyl group, and the linker employed to conjugate sTnNPhAc and carrier protein. It was concluded that...
