Popis: This thesis describes the design and synthesis of fragments of various cell wall carbohydrates of the Streptococcus species, including the branched Group B-specific antigen (GBC) of Group B Streptococcus, glycerol phosphate (GroP) modified group A carbohydrate (GAC), and the O-acetylated type 1 capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumonia (Sp1). All the synthesized fragments were equipped with a spacer at the reducing end for further conjugation with proteins or active small molecules to explore the mechanisms of carbohydrate-based vaccines in immune responses and to develop novel vaccines. To investigate the structure-activity relationship, several fragments of each polysaccharide were assembled varying in length.
