Abstract: The present invention provides methods for making polysaccharide-protein conjugates in which polysaccharides, typically from bacteria, are conjugated to a carrier protein by reductive amination under conditions which improve conjugation reaction consistency, increase consumption of protein during conjugation reaction, generate conjugates of higher molecular weight, and/or reduce the levels of free cyanide in the conjugate reaction product. The polysaccharide-protein conjugates obtained using these methods are useful for inclusion in multivalent vaccines.

Abstract: S. pneumoniae is a major cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in young children, older adults, and those with conditions or medications that compromise their immunity. Since the introduction of pneumococcal vaccines, the disease burden of vaccine serotypes (STs) on invasive pneumococcal disease has reduced; however, the effect on the burden of CAP is less well known, potentially due to a lack of testing for pneumococcal STs.
