Discovery of novel<i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>antigens by screening a whole-genome λ-display library
7 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a causative agent of otitis media, pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis in humans. For the development of effective vaccines able to prevent pneumococcal infection, characterization of bacterial antigens involved in host immune response is crucial. In order to identify pneumococcal proteins recognized by host antibody response, we created an S. pneumoniae D39 genome library, displayed on...
