Assessing Immune Responses to Pneumococcal Polysaccharide and Conjugate Vaccines with Luminex Assays

A major cause of morbidity and mortality is streptococcus pneumoniae. In this video, Siân Faustini, Ph.D. student at the University of Birmingham, UK, presents her results on assessing immune responses to pneumococcal polysaccharide and conjugate vaccines in HIV. Faustini demonstrates differences in IgG subclass responses to vaccines by using a combination of multiplexed Luminex immunological assays.
