Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) of Pneumococcal Immunoglobulin G (IgG) by Cohort
Approximately 5 mL of blood sample was collected within 24 hours of enrollment. Blood must have been drawn from peripheral veins (eg, arm, foot, or scalp veins). Serum concentrations of anticapsular IgG were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for each of the 13 pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) in all participants with a collected blood sample.
Time frame: Day 1
Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Pneumococcal Multiplex Opsonophagocytic Activity (MOPA) by Cohort
Approximately 5 mL of blood sample was collected within 24 hours of enrollment. Blood must have been drawn from peripheral veins (eg, arm, foot, or scalp veins). Serum levels of MOPA for each of the 13 pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) were determined in all 13vPnC cohort participants with adequate blood volume. In the Non-13vPnC cohort, a sample of participants with adequate blood volume was selected, to be equal to the number of the 13vPnC Cohort included for MOPA testing. Titer was expressed as reciprocal of the highest serum dilution.
Time frame: Day 1
GMCs of Pneumococcal IgG by Cohort and Vaccine Type (VT) Carriage Status - Subgroup Analysis
Approximately 5 mL of blood sample was collected within 24 hours of enrollment. Blood must have been drawn from peripheral veins (eg, arm, foot, or scalp veins). Serum concentrations of anticapsular IgG were determined by ELISA for each of the 13 pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) in all participants with a collected blood sample. For each cohort, participants were assigned to 2 subgroups: Participant in whom a 13vPnC VT strain had been isolated from the respiratory tract, and participant from whom a 13vPnC VT strain had not been isolated from the respiratory tract (VT carrier versus without VT carrier).
Time frame: Day 1
GMTs of Pneumococcal MOPA by Cohort and VT Carriage Status - Subgroup Analysis
Approximately 5 mL of blood sample was collected within 24 hours of enrollment. Blood must have been drawn from peripheral veins (eg, arm, foot, or scalp veins). Serum levels of MOPA for each of the 13 pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) were determined in all 13vPnC cohort participants with adequate blood volume. In the Non-13vPnC cohort, a sample of participants with adequate blood volume was selected, to be equal to the number of the 13vPnC Cohort included for MOPA testing. For each cohort, participants were assigned to 2 subgroups: Participant in whom a 13vPnC VT strain had been isolated from the respiratory tract, and participant from whom a 13vPnC VT strain had not been isolated from the respiratory tract (VT carrier versus without VT carrier). Titer was expressed as reciprocal of the highest serum dilution.
