Conjugate vaccines in which the capsular polysaccharide of Haemophilus influenzae type b, common serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae and group C Neisseria meningitidis are covalently bound to a protein antigen to convert a T-cell-independent immune response into a T-cell-dependent response have proved highly effective in the prevention of invasive ...

Conjugate vaccines for enteric fever: proceedings of a meeting organized in New Delhi, India in 2009
Enteric fever is responsible for significant morbidity in South Asia and high prevalence of severe disease is seen in children under two years of age. Effective typhoid vaccines are available, but they cannot be used for children under two years of age

Continued control of pneumococcal disease in the UK - the impact of vaccination
Streptococcus pneumoniae, also known as the pneumococcus, is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed and developing world. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines were first introduced for routine use in the USA in 2000, although the seven-

7-Valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccination in England and Wales: is it still beneficial despite high levels of serotype replacement? [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The UK introduced the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) into the national vaccination program in September 2006. Previous modelling assumed that the likely impact of PCV7 on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) would be similar to

Evolution of conjugate vaccines
Conjugate vaccines--bacterial polysaccharides conjugated to proteins to improve their immunizing properties--have been a success story since their introduction less than 20 years ago. The Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine has nearly eliminated invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b disease in large parts of the world.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...
