Meanings of conjugate vaccines in English

Multivalent pneumococcal saccharide-protein conjugate vaccines have recently been developed.

Streptococcus pneumoniae polysaccharide and protein- conjugate vaccines are available against the most commonly isolated pneumococcal serotypes.

Current preventive strategies, including the polysaccharide conjugate vaccines, aim to eliminate asymptomatic carriage with vaccine-type pneumococci.

Discussion of priorities for research in the context of the new conjugate vaccines in Africa is also provided.

Especially patients whose donors have low-specific antibody concentrations may benefit from donor vaccination with protein and conjugate vaccines.

While investigational Vi conjugate vaccines have been shown effective in clinical trials, they are currently only available to restricted areas.

Ongoing surveillance to monitor GBS serotype distribution will be needed to guide the development and use of GBS conjugate vaccines.

Evaluation of the new generation of conjugate vaccines is hampered by the absence of reliable surrogate markers of immunologic memory.

Existing non-vaccine-serotypes in most GPSCs preclude the removal of these lineages by pneumococcal conjugate vaccines; leaving potential for serotype replacement.

Background: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines have reduced the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease, caused by vaccine serotypes, but non-vaccine-serotypes remain a concern.

Pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide conjugate vaccines are highly effective in children, but suffer from some limitations including cost and limited serotype coverage.

Hib conjugate vaccines are likely to produce a herd protective effect in underdeveloped communities, as recorded in Europe and the United States.

We have investigated the mucosal IgA and IgG antibody responses to two meningococcal C conjugate vaccines in the saliva of healthy infants.

This difference may be related to changes in either the mode of administration of Hib conjugate vaccines or the rates of Hib nasopharyngeal carriage.

This study emphasizes the factors affecting anti-PRP antibody concentration following immunization with conjugate vaccines and the importance of these in long-term protection from invasive disease.

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) are a potentially useful complement to existing treatment strategies in HIV-infected children, for whom pneumococcal infections are common and serious.
