One combines the HIB vaccine with meningococcal vaccine, and the other with tetanus vaccine.
A polysaccharide is a carbohydrate. It is not made of protein but of monosaccharides.
A conjugate Vaccine
no. they are carbohydrates
Vaccines use different types of vaccination technology - Polysaccharide and Conjugate are different types of technologies. It is generally considered that Conjugate vaccines provide superior long-term protection versus Polysaccharide vaccines because of the mechanism by which they create an antibody response. While polysaccharide vaccines may offer individual protection, they do not provide the same level of "herd immunity" (i.e. non-immunized individuals provided protection due to number of immunized individulas in community) provided by Conjugate vaccines.
No, agarose is not a protein. It is a polysaccharide, which is a type of carbohydrate.
polysaccharide
Conjugate - certain bacteria have polysaccharide outer coats that are poorly immunogenic. By linking these outer coats to proteins (e.g. toxins), the immune system can be led to recognize the polysaccharide as if it were a protein antigen. This approach is used in the Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine. [Wikipedia]
No it is not. It is made up of protein
MCV (meningococcal conjugate vaccine)
No, a polysaccharide is not a protein. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made up of multiple sugar molecules, while proteins are made up of amino acids.
