Kyung Hyo Kim, Ju Young Seoh, Moon Kook Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(4):405-412.   Published online April 15, 2001
Purpose : The increasing prominence of pneumococcal infections and of antimicrobial resistance has emphasized the need for a effective vaccine to reduce the risk of pneumococcal disease in childhood. To study the antibody response of pneumococcal vaccine, we compared the concentration and opsonophagocytic capacity of antibodies to the capsular polysaccharide of S. pneumoniae serotype 19F in sera from healthy adults...
The Effect of rhG-CSF and rhGM-CSF on Expression of Fcγ Receptors and β2 Integrin and Respiratory Burst Function in Human Granulocytes

Purpose : Receptors for the Fc of IgG(FcγR) and a β2 integrin molecule, CD11c/CD18 are important in clearance of microbes by granulocytes. We performed an in vitro study on the effect of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(rhG-CSF), or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor(rhGM-CSF) on the expression of FcγR II, FcγR III, CD11c and CD18 and respiratory burst function of granulocytes. Methods : Peripheral...
