We will highlight the role of Siglec’s family receptors in immune evasion through interactions with glycan ligands in their natural context, presented on the protein such as MUC1, factors affecting their fine binding specificities, such as the role of multivalency either at the ligand or receptor side, their spatial organization, and finally the current and future therapeutic interventions targeting the Siglec–sialylated MUC1 immune axis in cancer. This evidence concerns the gene MUC1 and cancer.
