Abstract: The invention relates to methods that permit the rapid construction of oligosaccharides and other glycoconjugates. Methods for forming multiple glycosidic linkages in solution in a single step are disclosed. The invention takes advantage of the discovery that the relative reactivity of glycoside residues containing anomeric sulfoxides and nucleophilic functional groups can be controlled. In another aspect of the invention, the reactivity of activated anomeric sugar sulfoxides is utilized in a solid phase method for the formation of glycosidic linkages. The methods disclosed may be applied to the preparation of specific oligosaccharides and other glycoconjugates, as well as to the preparation of glycosidic libraries comprising mixtures of various oligosaccharides, including glycoconjugates, which can be screened for biological activity.

Abstract: Viable cells of an avirulent self-clearing strain of B. bronchiseptica are administered as an intra-respiratory vaccine. An aqueous suspension of the cells is applied to the respiratory mucosa immediately after incorporating a non-inhibitory amount of a wetting agent promoting the mucosal implantation of the cells. Effective immunization can thereby be obtained against diseases such as kennel cough in dogs and atrophic rhinitis in swine even through the strain of B. bronchiseptica is so highly attenuated that it is self-clearing from the respiratory mucosa.

Abstract: Method and means for vaccinating a mammal using a convex nozzle with an elongated tip. The mammal's alar fold is pushed aside by the tip so that vaccine is deposited behind the alar fold. Vaccine is then dispensed through the nozzle.
