  • OLIGOSACCHARIDES AND OLIGOSACCHARIDE-PROTEIN CONJUGATES DERIVED FROM CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICLE POLYSACCARIDE PS-I, METHODS OF SYNTHESIS AND USES THEREOF, IN PARTICULAR AS VACCINES AND DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS
    Publication number: 20140193416
    Abstract: The invention relates to a synthetic oligosaccharide representing part of the repeating unit of the Clostridium difficile glycopolymer PS-I and having the sequence of the pentasaccharide a-L-Rhap-(1?3)-?-D-Glcp-(1?4)-[a-L-Rhap-(1?3]-a-D-Glcp-(1?2)-a-D-Glcp or a synthetic fragment or derivative thereof. Preferably, the claimed synthetic oligosaccharide bears at least one linker L for conjugation to a carrier protein or for immobilization on a surface. Further aspects of the invention relate to advantageous methods for synthesizing said synthetic oligosaccharide and oligosaccharide-protein conjugate as well as to uses thereof, in particular as vaccines and diagnostic tools.
