Outpacing the pneumococcus: Antibody dynamics in the first few days following pneumococcal capsular antigen stimulation

Children in developing countries are frequently exposed to the pneumococcus, but few develop invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). We test the hypothesis that natural variation exists in the rapidity of IgG responses following exposure to pneumococcal polysaccharides, and that these differences are s...
