Background. Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a primary cause of infant sepsis and meningitis. As maternal anti-capsular (GBS) antibody is protective, maternal immunization could protect newborns. Here, the safety and immunogenicity of various doses, schedules and adjuvants of a trivalent GBS glycoconjugate vaccine (Novartis) were evaluated in non-pregnant women (clinicaltrials.gov NCT01150123).

Cell and Tissue Biology, School of Medicine, UNAM, Mexico City, Mexico. Background: Airway eosinophilia and Th2 lymphocytes-recruitment to the lung are one of the main pathological features of asthma. It is clear now that the axis chemokine/chemokine receptors have a role in controlling leukocyte recruitment and development of the inflammatory process observed in asthma. Although it has been re...
