Pneumococcal capsule blocks protection by immunization with conserved surface proteins

Abstract Vaccines targeting Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) are limited by dependence on capsular polysaccharide and its serotype diversity. More broadly-based approaches using common protein antigens have not resulted in a licensed vaccine. Herein, we used an unbiased, genome-wide approach to find n...
