Glycoconjugate vaccines play an enormous role in preventing infectious diseases. The main carrier proteins used in commercial conjugate vaccines are the non-toxic mutant of diphtheria toxin (CRM197), diphtheria toxoid (DT) and tetanus toxoid (TT). Modern childhood routine vaccination schedules
Glycoconjugate vaccines are among the most effective and safest vaccines ever developed. Diphtheria toxoid (DT), tetanus toxoid (TT) and CRM197 have been mostly used as protein carriers in licensed vaccines. We evaluated the immunogenicity of serogroup A, C, W-135 and Y meningococcal
We have previously demonstrated, by using a detergent-solubilized system, the existence of specific diphtheria toxin-binding glycoproteins on the surface of toxin-sensitive cells. We have now tested the effect of tunicamycin treatment on the sensitivity of cells in culture to diphtheria toxin and
Diphtheria toxin mutant CRM197 is a common carrier protein for glycoconjugate vaccines, which has been proven an effective protein vector for, among others, meningococcal carbohydrates. The wide-range use of this protein in massive vaccine production requires constant increase of production yields
In recipients primed with acellular pertussis diphtheria-tetanus combined vaccine (DTaP) an increased incidence of severe local reactions with extensive redness/swelling has been reported for each subsequent dose of diphtheria-tetanus based combination vaccine given as a booster. This has been
A molecular model of a carbohydrate-protein conjugate is described, involving the non-toxic mutant protein CRM197, serologically related to the diphtheria toxin, covalently bound to a characterized oligosaccharide derived from the molecular structure of type 6A pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide.
Small amounts of formaldehyde inhibited the precipitating activity of horse diphtheria antitoxin with toxin and of horse antipneumococcus serum with the homologous capsular carbohydrate. Approximately 1 part of commercial formaldehyde to 1000 parts of serum, acting for 24 hours, inhibited the
Iron limitation may cause bacterial pathogens to grow more slowly; however, it may also stimulate these microorganisms to produce greater tissue damage, given that many virulence factors are controlled by the iron supply in the environment. The present study investigated the influence of low iron
A Haemophilus influenzae type-b capsular polysaccharide-CRM197 protein conjugate vaccine was compared with unconjugated CRM197 and diphtheria toxin, its parent molecule. Using CD and fluorescence spectroscopy, it has been possible to observe differences in structure and stability to pH and
Glycoconjugate vaccines are composed of capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) of a pathogenic bacteria covalently linked to carrier proteins. Pre-exposure to the carrier is known to influence the efficacy of the glycoconjugate, by inducing enhanced or suppressed anti-CPS response. Following our previous
