| abstract |
The present invention provides novel immunogenic β-propionamido-binding polysaccharide- and N-propionamido-binding oligosaccharide-protein conjugates, and methods of making such conjugates. The conjugation process is simple, rapid, reproducible, and applicable to a variety of polysaccharides or oligosaccharides derived from or chemically synthesized from bacterial species, yeast, cancer cells. Also disclosed are immunization vaccines or methods for infection or cancer using immunogenic β-propionamido-binding polysaccharide- and β-propionamido-binding oligosaccharide-protein conjugates. |
