Correlation of antigenic epitope and antibody gene usage in the human immune response to Streptococcus pneumoniae type 23F capsular polysaccharide

The human antibody response to the capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 23F is predominated by antibodies which express either VkappaL6 or VkappaA23 light chain genes. In this report, we demonstrate that the antigenic epitopes recognized by these two families can be differentiate...
