FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention pertains to modified polysaccharide in particular to modified polysaccharide Neisseria meningitidis of serogroup A, which preserves immunogenicity, but has improved stability. The modified polysaccharide is obtained from reaction of capsular polysaccharide, or its fragment - oligosaccharide, with CDI type bifunctional reagent, accompanied by reaction with an amino-compound, such as dimethylamine. Description is also given of modified polysaccharide conjugates and vaccines, which are obtained from such conjugates.
EFFECT: obtaining modified saccharide.
