Role of antibodies and IL17-mediated immunity in protection against pneumococcal otitis media

Highlights • Mucosal vaccination with PspA and CTB restricts pneumococcal colonization. • Vaccination reduces influenza-virus induced pneumococcal otitis media. • Protection was correlated with a balanced anti-PspA IgG1:IgG2a ratio. • Vaccination induces a mucosal Th17 response against PspA. • Mice...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Mucosal vaccination with PspA and CTB restricts pneumococcal colonization. • Vaccination reduces influenza-virus induced pneumococcal otitis media. • Protection was correlated with a balanced anti-PspA IgG1:IgG2a ratio. • Vaccination induces a mucosal Th17 response against PspA. • Mice deficient in IL-17 signaling were not protected by vaccination.
