Abstract
A compound X-Y wherein X comprises sialic acid, a sialic acid derivative or an oligosaccharide terminating in a sialic acid or sialic acid derivative if multibranched at the end of at least the largest branch, and, Y represents coupling means which allows an antibody to be raised to X when the compound is coupled to a carrier through the coupling means Y and the coupled compound used to raise said antibody. These compounds show utility in that they, and antibodies raised against these, can be used in detecting and diagnosing cancers.
