多糖结合疫苗研究进展

Recent Progress of Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccines

  • 摘要: 多糖结合疫苗是一类将细菌表面荚膜多糖与载体蛋白通过共价键连接形成,用于预防特定传染病的重要疫苗。由多糖抗原与载体蛋白偶联形成的结合物,可将T细胞非依赖性抗原(多糖)转变为T细胞依赖性抗原,从而诱导婴幼儿产生特异性免疫应答,并促使抗体发生亲和力成熟,最终发挥免疫保护效应。该类疫苗目前已在临床中广泛应用并凸显重要价值,但在生产过程中仍存在诸多问题,如需大规模培养致病性细菌、使用剧毒活化试剂、多糖肽链长度难以均一控制、多糖与蛋白的结合位点及结合数量信息不明确,同时还面临产率偏低、终产品价格昂贵等现实挑战。综述多糖结合疫苗的相关研究进展,旨在通过系统梳理多糖结合疫苗的研究现状,为改进现有产品生产工艺、设计更为合理的疫苗候选物提供参考依据。

     

    Abstract: Polysaccharide conjugate vaccines, a category of important vaccines formed by covalent linkage between bacterial capsular polysaccharides and carrier proteins, are used for preventing specific communicable diseases. The conjugates generated by coupling polysaccharide antigens with carrier proteins can convert T cell-independent antigens (polysaccharides) into T cell-dependent antigens, thereby inducing specific immune responses in infants and young children, promoting antibody affinity maturation, and ultimately exerting immune protective effects. Currently, such vaccines are widely applied in clinical practice with significant value; however, there are still many problems in the manufacturing process, including the need for large-scale cultivation of pathogenic bacteria, the use of highly toxic activating reagents, difficulty in uniform control of polysaccharide peptide chain length, unclear information on the binding sites and binding quantity between polysaccharides and proteins, as well as practical challenges such as low yield and high price of the final product. This article reviews the research progress of polysaccharide conjugate vaccines, aiming to provide reference for improving the production process of existing products and designing more rational vaccine candidates by systematically reviewing the research status of polysaccharide conjugate vaccines.
