Outline of Final Research Achievements	Here I tried to examine the potential of self-polymerizing Spy0128 as vaccine adjuvant. I showed that Spy0128 might be superior vaccine antigen against Streptococcus pyogenes. In contrast, I could not usefulness of self-polymerizing Spy0128 as vaccine antigen compared with Spy0128.
