Meanings of pneumococcal polysaccharides in English

Serum antibody to pneumococcal polysaccharides was measured by radioimmunoassay before and after immunization.

However, the groups did not differ in their response to diphtheria toxoid and pneumococcal polysaccharides.

These results suggest that immunization with pneumococcal polysaccharides may reduce the indicence of pneumococcal disease in some high-risk patients but not in others.

Antibody levels to pneumococcal polysaccharides 6B and 23 F were measured before and 4-6 weeks after vaccination using ELISA.
