Example sentences for: serotype
How can you use “serotype” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Isolates of C. pneumoniae are virtually indistinguishable using 16s rRNA [ 4 ] , restriction fragment length polymorphism [ 5 ] , and amplification fragment length polymorphism analysis [ 6 ] . Unlike C. trachomatis , only a single serotype or genotype of C. pneumoniae has been identified by any of the above methods.
The most important exception to this problem occurs for antibodies to serotype 14, for which cross-reaction is minimal [11].
Second, it predicts that protection against invasive disease from a given serotype should coincide temporally with the acquisition of anticapsular antibody to that serotype, both at an individual level and at a population level.
Since the primary purpose of examining incidence in Finland was to compare age-specific rates against published distributions of antibody concentrations for the same age groups [12], we restricted our attention to serotype 14 and serogroup 6, for which subsequent investigations suggested antibody measurements in Finland were relatively unaffected by cross-reactions [13] (ELISA measurements for published data from Finland used a special type 6B polysaccharide that was found to minimize cross-reactions [13]).
The development of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines for adults [2] and the efficacy of pneumococcal polysaccharide–protein conjugate vaccines in infants and children [3,4] have confirmed that active immunity to the polysaccharide can provide excellent protection against invasive disease from pneumococci of the same serotype, and in some cases protection against cross-reacting serotypes within the same serogroup.
