Antibody to a conserved antigenic target is protective against diverse prokaryotic and eukaryotic pathogens
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Poly- N -acetylglucosamine (PNAG) has been identified as a conserved surface polysaccharide produced by major bacterial, fungal, and protozoal parasites, including malarial sporozoites and blood-stage forms, which can all be targeted for vaccination using this single antigen. Surface carbohydrates are among the most successful vaccines against human microbial pathogens but have tremendous variability that complicates vaccine development. The species of bacteria, fungi, and protozoa shown here to produce PNAG lack an identifiable genetic locus for this antigen’s biosynthetic proteins based on known loci, indicative of a possible evolutionary convergent acquisition of PNAG synthesis with potential important significance for microbial biology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
