Development of functional Haemophilus influenzae type b antibodies after vaccination
Abstract:
Sixteen autologous stem cell transplant recipients received three vaccinations with conjugated haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine. Quantitative and qualitative aspects of the antibody response were studied. The vaccination schedule resulted in high antibody response rates and functional maturation of antibodies, as measured by antibody avidity and phagocytosis-inducing capacity.

Immunological Memory
What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature is...
Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

Phagocytes
Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...
