Vaccination against Shigella and ETEC: novel antigens, novel approaches (STOPENTERICS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

To contribute to the development of vaccines against Shigella and ETEC for children of the developing world, STOPENTERICS will provide novel solutions by imposing a two-fold paradigm switch: (i) to break the dogma of serotype-specificity by inducing a cross-protective immunity (ii) to improve the immunogenicity of Shigella glycoconjugates by using synthetic oligosacharides mimicking the lipopolysa ...
