The present invention relates to the field of synthesizing and biologically evaluating of a novel class of carbohydrate-based vaccines. The new vaccines consist of a multi-modular structure which allows applying the vaccine to a whole variety of pathogenes. This method allows preparing vaccines against all pathogens expressing immunogenic carbohydrate antigens. As conjugation of antigenic carbohydrates to proteins is not required the conjugate vaccine is particularly heat stable. No refrigeration is required, a major drawback of protein-based vaccines.
本发明涉及一类基于
碳水化合物的新型疫苗的合成和
生物评估领域。这种新型疫苗由多模块结构组成,可将疫苗应用于各种病原体。这种方法可以制备出针对所有表达免疫原性
碳水化合物抗原的病原体的疫苗。由于不需要将抗原
碳水化合物与蛋白质共轭,共轭疫苗的热稳定性特别好。无需冷藏,这是基于蛋白质的疫苗的一个主要缺点。
