Glycosylation of bacterial antigens changes epitope patterns.
Front. Immunol., 2023, 14:1258136. doi:10.3389/fimmu.2023.1258136

The differential influence of bacterial glycosylation on the immune response to a potential vaccine in animals was compared with the antibody response in infected patients. The use of epitopes, mimotopes, and mimotopes of glycosylation sites indicates the relevance of proper vaccine design.

Coverage of the most common epitopes of Coronavirus-proteins revealed already at the start of the study in 2020 a close relationship in the immune response against endemic viruses and SARS-CoV-2, the initial article was rejected in 2021, “because it is not possible to do” what we have done.
