Pneumococcal surface adhesion A protein (PsaA) interacts with human Annexin A2 on airway epithelial cells

Pneumococcal surface adhesion A protein (PsaA) interacts with human Annexin A2 on airway epithelial cells

Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a normal colonizer of the human nasopharynx capable of causing serious invasive disease. Since colonization of the nasopharynx is a prerequisite for progression to invasive diseases, the development of future protein-based vaccines requires an understanding...
