Synthetic carbohydrate-based vaccines: Synthesis of an L-glycero-D-manno-heptose antigen-T-epitope-lipopeptide conjugate

Abstract

A facile and highly efficient synthesis of a glycopeptidolipid containing a heptose sugar, a synthetic T-epitope and a synthetic immunoadjuvant is presented which represents an important step towards the development of a fully synthetic vaccine against Neisseria meningitidis.
