Recent Advances in Lipopolysaccharide-Based Glycoconjugate Vaccines [PDF]

open access: yesExpert Review of Vaccines, 2021
The public health burden caused by pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria is increasingly prominent due to antimicrobial resistance. The surface carbohydrates are potential antigens for vaccines against Gram-negative bacteria. The enhanced immunogenicity of the O-specific polysaccharide (O-SP) moiety of LPS when coupled to a carrier protein may protect ...

Glycoconjugate vaccines: an update

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2014
Globally, the three main pathogens causing serious infections are Haemophilus influenzae type b, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis. Over the last 5 years, new vaccines protecting against these bacteria have been developed and introduced in various countries.This review describes the recently licensed glycoconjugates being used to ...

Glycoconjugate vaccines

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2012
The global disease burden of serious bacterial infections is caused mainly by Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis. Death or disability may be the potential aftermath of invasive infections with these pathogens.

Designing a new antifungal glycoconjugate vaccine

Chem. Soc. Rev., 2013
Bacterial capsular polysaccharides have been used as effective vaccines for adults but infants and seniors respond poorly to these immunogens because pure polysaccharides are unable to activate T-cells resulting in antibodies of low affinity and poor immunological memory.

Glycoconjugate vaccines and immune interference: A review

Vaccine, 2010
Bacterial polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines (Haemophilus influenzae type b [Hib], pneumococcal and meningococcal conjugates) have revolutionized pediatric vaccination strategies. The widely used carrier proteins are tetanus toxoid (TT), diphtheria toxoid (DT) and diphtheria toxoid variant CRM197 protein, DT conjugates being in general less ...

Glycoconjugate Vaccines: What Next?

International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care, 1994
AbstractThe principle that infants can be protected from invasive diseases caused by encapsulated organisms has been proved with the introduction ofHaemophilus influenzaetype b conjugate vaccines. The use of glycoconjugates to implement some of the goals of the Children's Vaccine Initiative requires a clear delineation of the chemical and immunological

Glycoconjugate vaccines.

Current opinion in drug discovery & development, 2011
Licensed glycoconjugate vaccines provide protective immunity against bacterial pathogens by eliciting a T-cell-dependent immune response to the corresponding bacterial saccharide covalently linked to a protein carrier. The field is rapidly expanding to include the introduction of novel carrier proteins and conjugation chemistries, the development of ...

Recent advances in self-adjuvanting glycoconjugate vaccines

Drug Discovery Today: Technologies, 2020
Compared to traditional vaccines that are formulated into mixtures of an adjuvant and an antigen, a self-adjuvanting vaccine consists of an antigen that is covalently conjugated to a well-defined adjuvant. In self-adjuvanting vaccines, innate immune receptor ligands are usually used as adjuvants.

Glycoconjugate Vaccines: The Regulatory Framework

2015
Most vaccines, including the currently available glycoconjugate vaccines, are administered to healthy infants, to prevent future disease. The safety of a prospective vaccine is a key prerequisite for approval. Undesired side effects would not only have the potential to damage the individual infant but also lead to a loss of confidence in the respective
