What is the purpose of conjugated vaccines? view available hint(s) what is the purpose of conjugated vaccines? to provide protection against toxins to enhance the immune response of children to polysaccharide antigens to provide protection against viruses to provide enhanced immune response by mimicking a real infection

The correct answer is- to enhance the immune response of children to polysaccharide antigens.

Explanation:

Conjugated vaccine is a substance that consists of a polysaccharide antigen combined with a carrier molecule and is used to enhance the immune response against that polysaccharide antigen in children.

Avery and Goebel first saw this ability of enhanced immunogenicity when a less immunogen polysaccharide of a S. pneumoniae strain combined with a carrier and showed higher immunogenicity in rabbits.

Now Hib conjugate vaccine is the most commonly used form of conjugate vaccine. These conjugate vaccines create immunological memory of the antigen and produce an enhanced immune response against that antigen.
