description:
The epitope structure represents the repetitive unit of type III GBS capsular polysaccharide.
The survival of pups born to immunized dams and challenged with type III group B Streptococcus was higher (100%) with the polysacharide-peptide immunization than with polysaccharide-protein conjugate (65%), while a low response (~15%) is obtained with the unconjugated polysaccharide. The peptide-polysaccharide conjugate is stated to be more immunogenic as it is more ordered that the protein-polysaccharide conjugates.
