Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines

Immunology Letters, 1991
We have prepared conjugates of pneumococcal type 4 polysaccharides (PS4) or oligosaccharides to tetanus toxoid using the carbodiimide method. The use of a spacer, 6-aminohexanoic acid, resulted in higher incorporation of carrier protein. Conjugates contained up to 10% free polysaccharide, but no free protein.

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2001
Pneumococcal infections account for a significant proportion of bacterial infections in infants and children. The growing threat from pneumococci resistant to penicillin and other antimicrobials has led to increased pressure for the development of an effective vaccine.

Conjugated Heptavalent Pneumococcal Vaccine

The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 2002
OBJECTIVE: To review the immunogenicity, efficacy, and safety of the heptavalent conjugated pneumococcal vaccine (PCV7). DATA SOURCES: A MEDLINE search (1993–August 2001) of research limited to humans published in the English language ...

The pneumococcal protein conjugate vaccines

The Journal of Pediatrics, 2000
to develop the first licensed pneumococcal vaccine, consisting of 14 purified capsular polysaccharide antigens representing the most prevalent disease-associated serotypes. Coverage was improved by the addition of 9 more purified polysaccharide antigens, resulting in the currently licensed 23valent pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide vaccine.

Immunogenicity of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2000
Prevention of pneumococcal infections is a public health priority because of the high impact of the disease and because of the increasing problems due to antimicrobial resistance. Traditional vaccines, consisting of purified capsular polysaccharides (PSs) of Streptococcus pneumoniae, are not immunogenic in young children.
