Method of inducing an immune response to polysaccharide bacterial antigens and to protein structures of virus capsids

摘要

The invention concerns an immunogenic composition, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, for specifically stimulating a sub-population of B M+D+CD27+ cells so as to provide T-independent anti-bacterial response in said cells. The invention also concerns the use for producing T-independent anti-bacterial immune responses in subjects infected or susceptible of being infected by polysaccharide bacteria (streptococcus, meningococcus, pneumococcus, hemophilus influenza) or by protein capsid viruses (poliovirus, encephalomyocarditis virus, influenza virus).
