Exploiting structure–activity relationships of QS-21 in the design and synthesis of streamlined saponin vaccine adjuvants

Abstract

We report the design, synthesis, immunological evaluation, and conformational analysis of new saponin variants as promising vaccine adjuvants. These studies have provided expedient synthetic access to streamlined adjuvant-active saponins and yielded molecular-level insights into saponin conformation that correlated with their in vivo adjuvant activities.
