Abstract
⺠We show the immunologic responses to a species-specific pneumococcal whole cell vaccine administered with aluminum hydroxide. ⺠Antibody elicited by the vaccine cross-reacts to a panel of clinical pneumococcal isolates of diverse MLST and serotypes. ⺠Immunization with this vaccine primes T cells to produce robust IL-17A responses to pneumococci regardless of serotype. ⺠This data suggest broad responses and provide further support for the clinical development of this vaccine.
