Here we unveil for the first time that pancreatic cancer cells (PANC-1) and secreted exosomes express MUC1 bearing cancer-relevant dynamic epitopes recognized specifically by an anti-MUC1 antibody (SN-131), which binds specifically core 1 but not core 2 type O-glycans found in normal cells. The gene discussed is MUC1; the disease is pancreatic neoplasm.
