Anticarbohydrate Antibodies provides a cohesive overview of current knowledge on the immunological recognition of carbohydrates by the adaptive immune system. The text provides fundamental insight needed for advancing clinically relevant diagnostics and therapeutic applications.

Many pathogens and aberrant malignant cells express unique carbohydrates on their surface representing attractive targets for vaccine design. Considerable progress has recently been made in the identification of novel carbohydrate based vaccines and a large number has reached clinical phase studies. The success of several licensed carbohydrate based vaccines against bacterial pathogens such as Haemophilus influenzae type b, Neisseria meningitidis or Streptococcus pneumoniae demonstrates their great potential. However, the study of anti-carbohydrate antibodies is technically challenging and...
