| Research Abstract |
Pneumococcal vaccine plays an important role in protection against pneumococcal infections. However, infants exhibit impaired innate and adaptive immune responses, which result in insufficient induction of anti-pneumococcal antibody. The current study demonstrated the highly induction of anti-pneumococcal specific antibody among offspring delivered from mother mice immunized with pneumococcal surface protein A. This result would conduce a novel strategy of the development of pneumococcal vaccine.
