Immunotherapy targeting tumor cell surface carbohydrates is a promising approach for cancer treatment. However, the low immunogenecity of carbohydrates presents a formidable challenge. We describe here the enhancement of carbohydrate immunogenicity by an ordered display on the surface of the cowpeamosaicvirus (CPMV) capsid. The Tn glycan, which is overexpressed on numerous cancer cell surfaces, was
