The BNP peptide/KLH is an antigen-adjuvant conjugate formed by linking BNP peptide (human brain natriuretic peptide) with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) . By conjugating the antigen with a protein adjuvant, the production of antigen-specific antibodies in vaccine models can be enhanced. The conjugate does not affect protein folding or damage the major epitopes, and it can enhance cross-presentation and the generation of antigen-specific T cells.
