The O-polysaccharide moiety of Burkholderia pseudomallei 319a lipopolysaccharide was covalently linked to flagellin protein isolated from the same strain. A glycoconjugate incorporating adipic acid dihydrazide as a spacer molecule elicited high-titer immunoglobulin G responses to both the protein and carbohydrate components of the construct. This immunoglobulin G was capable of protecting diabetic rats from challenge with a heterologous B. pseudomallei strain.
