Abstract:
Glycoconjugate vaccines, obtained by carbohydrates covalently bound to protein carriers, have contributed to fight diseases such as meningitidis, pneumonia and typhoid fever. Despite new technologies such as RNA and adenovirus based vaccine have now reached the market, these approaches are unable to target carbohydrates which are key virulence factors.This issue intends to provide an overview on relevant directions where the field is evolving and serve as starting point to increase interest in this exciting and fundamental part of vaccinology.

Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...
Cancer Vaccines
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...
