Abstract excerpt
Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) is a significant cause of otitis media in children and exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Vaccine research for NTHI has focused on the outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of NTHI. The goal of this study was to evaluate mucosal and systemic immune responses to recombinant OMP P2 (rP2) of NTHI. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)...
