Serum and mucosal antibody responses to pneumococcal protein antigens in children: relationships with carriage status
- Abstract:
-
Streptococcus pneumoniae causes significant morbidity and mortality especially in children. Some pneumococcal protein antigens can protect mice against infection. Little information is available concerning the nature of naturally acquired protective immunity to pneumococci in humans induced by these antigens. This study investigates the relationships between systemic and local antibody production and carriage in children. Children undergoing adenoidectomy (n=112, ages 2-12 years) wer... Expand abstract
