Protection against Group A Streptococcus by Immunization with J8–Diphtheria Toxoid: Contribution of J8‐ and Diphtheria Toxoid–Specific Antibodies to Protection
15 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
A conformationally constrained, minimally conserved peptide from the M protein of group A streptococcus (GAS) has been defined. It consists of 12 amino acids from the C-repeat region within a non-M protein helix-forming sequence and is referred to as "J8." Here, we investigate the immunogenicity of a J8-diphtheria toxoid (DT) conjugate adjuvanted with the human-compatible adjuvants, SBAS2 and alum, and...
