Vaccination against Streptococcus pneumoniae using truncated derivatives of polyhistidine triad protein D.
Polyhistidine triad protein D (PhtD) has been described as a promising vaccine candidate for use against Streptococcus pneumoniae, but there has been a lack of examination of its structure and of which region(s) of the protein are targeted by protective immune responses. In this study, we purified r...
