Interleukin 12 as an adjuvant to WI-1 adhesin immunization augments delayed-type hypersensitivity, shifts the subclass distribution of immunoglobulin G antibodies, and enhances protective immunity to Blastomyces dermatitidis infection.

abstract：:Streptococcus pneumoniae, a Gram-positive bacterial pathogen, causes pneumonia, meningitis, and septicemia. Innate immune responses are critical for the control and pathology of pneumococcal infections. It has been demonstrated that S. pneumoniae induces the production of type I interferons (IFNs) by host cells and th...
