Site-Specific Conjugation of Cell Wall Polyrhamnose to Protein SpyAD Envisioning a Safe Universal Group A Streptococcal Vaccine
29 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Development of an effective vaccine against the leading human bacterial pathogen group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a public health priority. The species defining group A cell wall carbohydrate (GAC, Lancefield antigen) can be engineered to remove its immunodominant N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) side chain, implicated in provoking autoimmune cross-reactivity in rheumatic heart disease, leaving its...
