Meanings of bactericidal antibodies in English

In addition, immunoglobulin A and bactericidal antibodies were detected in the respiratory tract following intranasal delivery of NadA.

Conclusions: This study showed sustained levels of bactericidal antibodies for at least 3 years after immunization of adolescents with MenCV.

Immunisation of mice with different Opa variants elicited high levels of meningococcal-specific bactericidal antibodies, demonstrating proof in principle for this approach.

The presence of serum bactericidal antibodies is a proven correlate of protection against systemic infection with the important human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis.

Bactericidal antibodies were present in only 21% of those over 60 months; RIA levels rose linearly with increasing age (P less than 0.005).
