Zusammenfassung:The present application is related to a modified protein comprising a protein having a coiled coil domain and a peptide having the sequence such as shown in SEQ ID NO 1: ZXBBBBZ that is linked to the coiled coil domain wherein: Z is any amino acid or is absent; X is any amino acid; B is an arginine (R) or a lysine (K). Said modified protein is in particular an antigen or a carrier protein, associated to an antigen. This modified protein has an increased affinity for negatively charged polymers such as nucleic acids or heparin, and shows an increased immunogenicity.
