Contributions to science and to the practice of medicine are built on the shoulders of our predecessors. For us, the shoulders of Dr. Maxwell Finland were singularly broad and strong: In addition to his skills as a physician and a teacher, he was a visionary and a scientist. Dr. Finland started his career by caring for and studying patients with pneumooccal pneumonia [1,2]. He realized the need for understanding the immunologic properties of the pneumococcus capsular polysaccharides (CP) and their relation to clinical disease caused by this pathogen. Some of his contributions that guided our efforts to develop effective vaccines for prevention of systemic infections due to capsulated bacterial pathogens are cited in table 1 [3-16]. Our main interest has been toward preventing meningitis and other systemic infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Progress by us and by other laboratories toward developing Hib conjugates has been rapid, and vaccines manufactured by three companies have been licensed recently for children ^18 months of age. The advent of Hib conjugates licensed for universal immunization of infants, administered concurrently with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis vaccine (DTP), is imminent. We are confident that chemists and engineers will continue to improve these first Hib conjugates and that even more effective products will be available soon. Accordingly, in addition to reviewing our contributions and those of our colleagues with these new Hib vaccines, we will illustrate how the development of polysaccharide-protein conjugates may provide opportunities for studying the pathogenesis of other bacterial diseases and ultimately for preventing them through new vaccines. Surface polysaccharides may serve both as virulence factors and as protective antigens for bacteria whose invasion of the blood is their primary pathogenic event [17]. These
