#$%^&*AU2014201215A120140403.pdf#####The present invention provides for an immunogenic composition comprising (a) a glycan, such as Globo H, stage-specific embryonic antigen-3 (SSEA-3) or SSEA-4, conjugated to a carrier protein through a linker (b) an adjuvant comprising a glycolipid, such as a-galactosyl-ceramide adjuvant, wherein the composition induces an immune response, such as a higher relative level of IgG isotype antibodies compared to IgM isotype antibodies, or neutralising antibodies against at least one antigen selected from the group consisting of Globo H, Gb4, SSEA-3, and SSEA-4. Uses of the immunogenic composition for treating or inhibiting tumour growth are also provided.
