Abstract

This communication describes the first automated solid phase synthesis of teichoic acids (TAs) and the preparation by this method of a number of well-defined TA structures, which were probed for their antigenicity. An opsonophagocytic killing assay revealed a clear TA-length–activity relationship and indicated a promising candidate for future vaccine development.
