英文摘要 | Neisseria meningitidis is a leading cause of severe bacterial infections in infants and young children. As a major virulence factor, meningococcal capsular polysaccharide (PS) is poorly immunogenic and generally does not induce immunological memory. Conjugation of PS with a carrier protein can significantly increase the PS-specific immunogenicity and induce immunological memory. It is well known that the molecular shape/size of the conjugate vaccine is important for its immunogenicity. However, little is known about the molecular shape/size of the meningococcal conjugate vaccine. A meningococcal PS ovalbumin (OVA) conjugate vaccine was prepared using cystamine as linker. Four components (P1-P4) with different molecular size were fractionated from the conjugate. Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis revealed that the conjugate vaccine exhibited a rod-like shape similar to virus-like particles. PS-specific immunogenicity of the conjugate vaccine was related to its molecular shape and increased as a function of its molecular size. Thus, the present study provides a three-dimensional shape of the conjugate vaccine and helps to identify optimal design of a potent meningococcal conjugate vaccine. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
