MSH: Semisynthetic vaccines consisting of polysaccharide antigens from microorganisms attached to protein carrier molecules. The carrier protein is recognized by macrophages and T-cells thus enhancing immunity. Conjugate vaccines induce antibody formation in people not responsive to polysaccharide alone, induce higher levels of antibody, and show a booster response on repeated injection.,NCI: A category of vaccines created by covalently attaching an antigen from an organism to a carrier protein from the same organism to aid in the delivery of the immunogen.
