Prevention of Pneumococcal Disease in Mice Immunized with Conserved Surface-Accessible Proteins
21 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
The development of a vaccine against Streptococcus pneumoniae has been complicated by the existence of at least 90 antigenically distinct capsular serotypes. Common protein-based vaccines could represent the best strategy to prevent pneumococcal infections, regardless of serotype. In the present study, the immunoscreening of an S. pneumoniae genomic library allowed the identification of a novel immune protein...
