简要总结
This study focuses on the role of neutrophils in shaping the adaptive immune response to the anti-pneumococcal vaccine Prevnar-13 in young and elderly adults.
详细描述
This study focuses on the role of neutrophils in shaping the adaptive immune response to the anti-pneumococcal vaccine Prevnar in young and elderly adults. This study involves direct vaccination of human volunteers. The endpoints will be determining how vaccination affects neutrophil responses and linking those neutrophil responses to antibody responses following vaccination. The main results will be:
- Elucidating how neutrophils kill bacteria before and after vaccination
- Elucidate the phenotype of neutrophils before and after vaccination
- Elucidate how neutrophils interact with B and T cell in vitro before and after vaccination
- Measure antibody levels and function before and after vaccination
- Correlate neutrophil responses to antibody levels and function

盲法说明
Enrolled participants will be assigned a unique study identification number followed by a visit number (example 1.1 for donor #1-first visit). The code list, linking patient identities (such as names/phone numbers) and samples, will be kept in a separate file locked in a drawer the PI's office. The code list and code-identified data will be stored in separate locations and only authorized individuals will have access to the list. Experiments and data analysis will be performed only on coded samples and researchers will only have access to the visit number as the experiments to be performed on the collected samples pre and post vaccination differ.
