BIFUNKTIONELLE PROTEINANKER

摘要

The invention relates to the areas of immunology and vaccine delivery. More specifically, it relates to a bacterial vaccine delivery technology with built-in immunostimulatory properties which allows the immobilization of any antigen of interest, without prior antigen modification. Provided is an antigen binding immunogenic carrier complex comprising at least one bifunctional polypeptide attached to an immunogenic carrier, said bifunctional polypeptide comprising a peptidoglycan binding domain (PBD) through which the polypeptide is attached to said carrier, fused to an antigen binding domain (ABD) capable of binding an antigen of interest. Also provided is a pharmaceutical (e.g. vaccine) composition comprising an antigen-loaded immunogenic carrier complex of the invention.
