AI Technical Summary
Current pneumococcal conjugate vaccines face challenges in chemical synthesis with low yields, batch-to-batch variability, and the need for improved methods to conjugate Streptococcus pneumoniae membrane polysaccharides to proteins efficiently, as existing oligosaccharide transferases (OTases) like PglB and PglL are not effective for glucose-containing CPS serotypes.
Development of bioconjugates using a ComP protein or its glycosylated tag fragments covalently bound to oligosaccharides or polysaccharides, utilizing PglS OTase for in vivo conjugation in bacterial cells, particularly with PglS ADP1, to efficiently link pneumococcal polysaccharides to carrier proteins.
This approach enables efficient and specific conjugation of pneumococcal polysaccharides to carrier proteins, potentially reducing production costs and improving vaccine efficacy by inducing serotype-specific immune responses.
