Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2001
Pneumococcal infections account for a significant proportion of bacterial infections in infants and children. The growing threat from pneumococci resistant to penicillin and other antimicrobials has led to increased pressure for the development of an effective vaccine.

Meningococcal conjugate vaccines

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2005
Disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis is associated with high mortality rates and significant sequelae. Polysaccharide meningococcal vaccines have been available for > 20 years, and have been used in travellers to control outbreaks, and in some countries for adolescents entering college, although they provide only a short duration of immunity and do

Glycoprotein conjugate vaccines

Vaccine, 1999
The polysaccharide capsule which surrounds bacterial species like Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, Salmonella typhi, is a potent virulence factor. It protects the bacterium from phagocytosis, but capsule specific antibodies plus complement binding to the capsule opsonise the organism for phagocytosis and ...

Conjugated Heptavalent Pneumococcal Vaccine

The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 2002
OBJECTIVE: To review the immunogenicity, efficacy, and safety of the heptavalent conjugated pneumococcal vaccine (PCV7). DATA SOURCES: A MEDLINE search (1993–August 2001) of research limited to humans published in the English language was conducted. STUDY SELECTION: Findings from randomized, controlled, multicenter trials were reviewed.

Innovative Vaccine Strategy: Self-Adjuvanting Conjugate Vaccines

2023
Self-adjuvanting vaccines, covalent conjugates between antigens and adjuvants, are chemically well-defined compared with conventional vaccines formulated through mixing antigens with adjuvants. Innate immune receptor ligands effectively induce acquired immunity through the activation of innate immunity, thereby enhancing host immune responses.

Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines

1995
The development of multivalent pneumococcal vaccines for the prevention of both systemic and noninvasive pneumococcal diseases in infants, older adults, and immunecompromised individuals has gained increasing importance over the last decade. The rising cost of medical care has renewed interest in prevention instead of cure for a disease and in many ...

[Conjugate vaccines].

Revue medicale de Bruxelles, 2002
Conjugate vaccines extend the vaccinal prevention for children to more diseases. Conjugating the capsular polysaccharide to a carrier protein transforms a T-independent antigen in a T-dependent, allowing protection of the children (before 2 years of age) against Haemophilus influenzae type b, meningococcal C and pneumococcal infections.

PolysaccharicbConjugate Vaccines

2003
It was recognized early this century that small molecules, called haptens, can be made immunogenic after conjugation to carrier proteins (1), This principle was thereafter applied successfully to improve the rmmunogenicity of (poly)saccharides (2, 3). We now know that the carrier proteins ensure the involvement of T-helper lymphocytes in the activation
