ABSTRACT:
The invention provides novel uses for n-glycolylated gangliosides, or derivatives and/or oligosaccharides thereof. The invention further provides methods of obtaining such gangliosides, as well as vaccine compositions comprising said gangliosides. The gangliosides may be coupled to carriers and may be accompanied by adjuvants. The vaccine compositions can be used in the treatment of breast cancers, whereby the gangliosides are used to elicit an immune response to corresponding gangliosides on breast tumour cells.
