Abstract

Antigen analogs of polyclonal antibodies specific for type A Neisseria mengitidis are prepared by covering gold clusters (2–5 nm in size) with a monolayer of saccharides that have the structure of the repeating unit of the capsular polysaccharide of this bacterium. These systems may find use as synthetic antigens for immunostimulation.

37. We have used the term “monolayer” rather than “monoshell” despite the fact that our thiols are probably not well packed as one might assume is the case with a monolayer. We prefer to maintain the term “monolayer” as it is common practice in this sort of nanoparticles.
38. We could not perform experiments with Type Y polysaccharide because the antibody used for the ELISA experiments is an anti‐mouse MenACWY and therefore can also recognize TypeY saccharides.
