Abstract

Antigens are derived from the tandem repeat sequence of the core protein of a human polymorphic epithelial mucin. These antigens include a core protein epitope which is recognized by certain antibodies which also bind certain carcinoma antigens, but not fully processed HPEM glycoprotein as produced by the normal lactating human mammary gland.
