The IUPAC described this technology as “low-sugar vaccinations.”

Key Points: 
  • The IUPAC described this technology as “low-sugar vaccinations.”
    Glycans are long, branched sugar molecules that are commonly attached to viral surface proteins.
  • But the glycan coating can also contribute to the immune response.
  • Finally, Zhu decided to remove most (but not all) of the glycan shield through an enzymatic process.
  • “We congratulate Prof. Zhu and his team at Scripps Research on this recognition of their innovative work in HIV vaccine design and chemistry.
