A Coordinated Synthesis and Conjugation Strategy for the Preparation of Homogeneous Glycoconjugate Vaccine Candidates

A sweet solution: A strategy for the synthesis of well-defined carbohydrate-based vaccines is presented. The approach couples complex oligosaccharide synthesis to site-specific conjugation methodology to provide pure glycoprotein vaccine candidates (see scheme).
