MUC1 is expressed at the cell surface of epithelial cancers. We have shown previously that MUC1 conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) plus the saponin immunological adjuvant QS-21 induces consistent high titer IgM and IgG antibodies in patients after treatment of their primary or metastatic cancers. KLH however is poorly soluble and heterogeneous making it difficult to work with, and we hypothesize that changing carrier proteins mid-way through a vaccination schedule would further increase antibody titers.
