متن کاملRole of complement in host defense against pneumococcal otitis media.
Strategies to limit complement deposition on Streptococcus pneumoniae are established as virulence features for invasive disease, but their role in respiratory tract infection requires further analysis. We evaluated complement C3 protein deposition on discordant S. pneumoniae isolates of the same serotype (6A) and their capacity to cause nasopharyngeal (NP) colonization and experimental otitis ...
متن کاملInfluence of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine on Otitis Media
The vaccine developed for pneumococcal diseases is a heptavalent conjugate vaccine (PCV 7). This particular vaccine consists of capsular polysaccharides originated from seven different Streptococcus pneumoniae species along with the protein diphtheria crm197 as conjugate antigens. In a month time after inoculation in children this vaccine is able to increase the IgG level sufficiently to combat...
متن کاملEffect of apolactoferrin on experimental pneumococcal otitis media.
OBJECTIVE To find the effect of apolactoferrin administration on the middle and inner ears after experimentally induced pneumococcal otitis media. DESIGN Histopathologic and morphometric analysis of the middle and inner ears. SETTING University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. SUBJECTS Ten chinchillas. INTERVENTIONS The middle ear cavities of chinchillas were inoculated bilaterally with type ...
متن کاملDo antibodies to pneumococcal surface adhesin a prevent pneumococcal involvement in acute otitis media?
Antibodies to the pneumococcal (Pnc) surface protein PsaA are immunogenic and protective in experimental animal models, but their role in protection from Pnc disease in humans is not known. In the present study, the ability of antibodies to PsaA to prevent the progression of Pnc carriage to Pnc acute otitis media (Pnc AOM) was evaluated. Antibodies to PsaA were measured in acute-phase serum sam...
