Synthetic macromolecular MUC1 glycopeptides have been used to unravel molecular mechanisms in antibody recognition of disease-specific epitopes. We have established a novel synthetic strategy for MUC1 tandem repeats having complex O-glycosylation states at each repeating unit based on convergent solid-phase fragment condensation under microwave irradiation. We have accomplished the synthesis of 77 amino acid MUC1 glycopeptides (MW = 12 759) having three major antigenic O-glycoforms [Tn, core 1 (T), and core 2 structures] at 10 designated positions out of 19 potential O-glycosylation sites. We demonstrate that the macromolecular MUC1 glycopeptide displaying the essential glycopeptidic neoepitope Pro-Asp-Thr(sialyl-T)-Arg-Pro-Ala-Pro at two different tandem repeats is an excellent serum MUC1 model showing ideal stoichiometric binding with anti-KL6/MUC1 antibody in the sandwich ELISA to quantify human serum KL6/MUC1 levels as a critical biomarker of interstitial lung diseases.
