Abstract

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.
