20090136547ZWITTERIONIZATION OF CAPSULAR SACCHARIDES - Capsular saccharides are typically anionic. In the invention, however, cationic groups are introduced, such that the modified saccharide has a repeating unit which includes both cationic and anionic groups. These cationic and anionic groups can be balanced to give a zwitterionic repeating unit. These modifications can convert a saccharide that is normally a T-independent antigen into one that can activate T cells without requiring conjugation to a carrier. Typically, the invention modifies an anionic bacterial capsular saccharide antigen by converting a neutral group in the saccharide into a cationic group e.g. to change —NHAc to —NH05-28-2009
