Abstract
⺠Sortase forms a single covalent bond between a carrier protein and a capsule antigen. ⺠PDGA-D4 vaccine includes polyglutamate and the D4 domain of protective antigen. ⺠PDGA-D4 elicits immunity against Bacillus anthracis challenge in guinea pigs. ⺠PDGA-D4 elicits immunity against pagA mutant Bacillus anthracis. ⺠Sortase-conjugation may be broadly useful to generate conjugate vaccines.
