Naturally Acquired Human Immunity to Pneumococcus Is Dependent on Antibody to Protein Antigens.

Naturally Acquired Human Immunity to Pneumococcus Is Dependent on Antibody to Protein Antigens.

Naturally acquired immunity against invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is thought to be dependent on anti-capsular antibody. However nasopharyngeal colonisation by Streptococcus pneumoniae also induces antibody to protein antigens that could be protective. We have used human intravenous immunoglobu...
