  • PROLINE-RICH PEPTIDES PROTECTIVE AGAINST S. PNEUMONIAE
    Publication number: 20180256698
    Abstract: The invention relates to lipopeptides consisting of a peptide chain comprising a parallel coiled-coil domain, a proline-rich peptide antigen, and a lipid moiety, all covalently linked, which aggregate to synthetic virus-like particles. Proline-rich peptide antigens considered contain negatively and positively charged amino acid, and at least 15% of the amino acids are proline. Such synthetic virus-like particles carrying proline-rich antigens derived from pneumococcal proteins are useful as vaccines against infectious diseases caused by Gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae.
