Carbohydrate moieties as vaccine candidates: Targeting the sweet spot in the immune response

► The use of carbohydrates as vaccine candidates against infectious and malignant diseases. ► Sessions included the immune response to microbial and cancer carbohydrate antigens. ► Other sessions included glycomics, novel vaccine approaches, adjuvants and delivery systems. ► New insights on immune response to unconjugated polysaccharides gained. ► The use of automated synthesis of carbohydrates was presented.
