A poorly immunogenic vaccine often suggests the foreign proteins were not properly recognized by the immune system due to a lack of ________ necessary, which can also be engineered to occur with additional molecular manipulations.
A) complex folding
B) methylation
C) glucosylation
D) glycosylation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycosylation is the addition of sugars to proteins and is often necessary for proper folding and function of the glycoprotein. If a vaccine is poorly immunogenic, it may suggest that the foreign proteins were not recognized properly by the immune system due to a lack of glycosylation, which can be engineered to occur with additional molecular manipulations.
