USE OF SACCHARIDES CROSS-REACTIVE WITH BACILLUS ANTHRACIS SPORE GLYCOPROTEIN AS A VACCINE AGAINST ANTHRAX

摘要

Provide are immunogen c compositions and methods or el c t ng an immune response against B. anthracis and other bacteria that contain 3-methyl-3- hydroxybutyrate- or 3-hydroxybutryate-substituted saccharides. Conjugates of 3- methyl-3-hydroxybutyrate- or 3-hydroxybutryate-substituted saccharides elicit an effective immune response against B. anthracis spores in mammalian hosts to which the conjugates are administered.
