GLYCAN CONJUGATES AND USE THEREOF
-
Paragraph 0293; 0302-0303, (2015/01/16)
Described herein are synthetic glycan conjugates comprising a carrier and a glycan moiety derived from Neisseria meningitidis, wherein the glycan moiety is covalently linked to the carrier through a linker. Also provided herein are a mixture of the glycan conjugates thereof, immmunogenic compositions thereof, and kits thereof. The invention further provides methods of using the synthetic glycan conjugates and immunogenic compositions thereof to treat and/or reduce the risk of infectious diseases such as bacterial infections.

Sweetening the deal: N.meningitidis serogroup W135 capsular oligosaccharides were synthesized in lengths from disaccharides to decasaccharides. Sera from mice immunized with these oligosaccharide-protein conjugates were examined by a glycan microarray (see picture) and bactericidal assay for antibody specificity and the ability to kill bacteria.
