PI3Kδ hyper-activation promotes the development of B cells that exacerbate <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> infection in an antibody-independent manner
2018-03-18
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of pneumonia and a leading cause of death world-wide. Antibody-mediated immune responses can offer protection against repeated exposure to S. pneumoniae , yet vaccines only offer partial protection.
