The S. aureus 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase SAR1376 enhances immune responses when fused to several antigens

Abstract A persistent goal of vaccine development is the enhancement of the immunogenicity of antigens while maintaining safety. One strategy involves alteration of the presentation of the antigen by combining antigens with a multimeric scaffold. Multi-antigen vaccines are under development, and the...

description Abstract A persistent goal of vaccine development is the enhancement of the immunogenicity of antigens while maintaining safety.
