Zwitterionic polysaccharides (ZPS), obtained through chemical introduction of positive charges into anionic polysaccharides (PS) from GBS, have the ability to activate human and mouse antigen presenting cells (APCs) through toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2). To generate a polysaccharide vaccine with antigen (Ag) and adjuvant properties in one molecule, we have conjugated ZPS with a carrier protein. ZPS-glycoconjugates induce higher T-cell and Ab responses to carrier and PS, respectively, compared to control PS-glycoconjugates made with the native polysaccharide form. The increased immunogenicity of ZPS-conjugates correlates with their ability to activate dendritic cells (DCs). Moreover, protection of mothers or neonate offspring from lethal GBS challenge is better when mothers are immunized with ZPS-conjugates compared to immunization with PS-conjugates. In TLR2 knockout mice, ZPS-conjugates lose both their increased immunogenicity and protective effect after vaccination. When ZPS are coadministered as adjuvants with unconjugated tetanus toxoid (TT), they have the ability to increase the TT-specific antibody titer. In conclusion, glycoconjugates containing ZPS are potent vaccines. They target Ag to TLR2-expressing APCs and activate these APCs, leading to better T-cell priming and ultimately to higher protective Ab titers. Thus, rational chemical design can generate potent PS-adjuvants with wide application, including glycoconjugates and coadministration with unrelated protein Ags.</jats:p> Toll-like receptor 2 dependent immunogenicity of glycoconjugate vaccines containing chemically derived zwitterionic polysaccharides Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
