Multivalent display of minimal Clostridium difficile glycan epitopes mimics antigenic properties of larger glycans

Immunologically-active glycans are promising vaccine candidates but can be difficult to synthesize. Here, the authors show that pentavalent display of a minimal disaccharde epitope on a chemical scaffold can mimic a native C. difficileglycan antigen, representing a simple approach to synthetic vacci...

Sumario:Immunologically-active glycans are promising vaccine candidates but can be difficult to synthesize. Here, the authors show that pentavalent display of a minimal disaccharde epitope on a chemical scaffold can mimic a native C. difficileglycan antigen, representing a simple approach to synthetic vaccine production.
