Correlation between opsonophagocytic titers and antibody concentration.
CPS | CPS + PPS22F | P value | ||
PPS4 | Young | 0.64 | 0.81 | 0.28 |
Elderly | 0.69 | 0.79 | 0.51 | |
PPS14 | Young | 0.90 | 0.88 | 0.78 |
Elderly | 0.75 | 0.72 | 0.85 |
Correlation coefficients of association (r values) between post-immunization opsonophagocytic titer and antibody concentration following absorption with CPS or CPS + 22F in young and elderly volunteers. There was no significant difference between absorption techniques by Fisher's Z transformation.
