Immunogenic {beta}-propionamido-linked polysaccharide protein conjugate useful as a vaccine produced using an N-acryloylated polysaccharide

摘要

Novel immunogenic beta-propionamido-linked polysaccharide- and N-propionamido-linked oligosaccharide-protein conjugates are provided as well as method of producing the conjugates. The conjugation procedure is simple, rapid, reproducible and applicable to a variety of polysaccharides or oligosaccharides derived from bacterial species, yeast, cancer cells or chemically synthesized. Vaccines and methods of immunization against infection or cancer using the immunogenic beta-propionamido-linked polysaccharide- and beta-propionamido-linked oligosaccharide-protein conjugates are also disclosed.
