Effect of antiserum samples on interaction of S. pneumoniae with human neutrophils. a Examples of flow cytometry histograms for fresh human neutrophils incubated with FAM-SE labelled TIGR4 when opsonised in 20% antiserum from glycosylated (red shading) or unglycosylated (grey shading) vaccine groups and 5% baby rabbit complement. PBS vaccinated serum (dashed line) was included as a control. b Percent association of fresh human neutrophils with TIGR4 when opsonised in 20% antiserum (n = 8) from glycosylated (closed circles) or unglycosylated (open squares) vaccine groups and 5% baby rabbit complement. Antiserum from Prevnar-13 (closed circles) and PBS vaccinated (open squares) animals were included as controls. *p < 0.05 Kruskal–Wallis with Dunn’s post-test (vs PBS). c-e Percent association of fresh human neutrophils with non-type 4 pneumococci when opsonised in 20% antiserum (n = 6) from glycosylated (closed circles) or unglycosylated (open squares) vaccine groups and 5% baby rabbit complement. Antiserum from Prevnar-13 (closed circles) and PBS vaccinated (open squares) animals were included as controls
