Capsule does not block antibody binding to PspA, a surface virulence protein of Streptococcus pneumoniae

Of the proteins on the surface of Streptococcus pneumoniae, one of those best able to elicit protection against pneumococcal infection is pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA). Although this protein is attached to the membrane molecule, lipoteichoic acid, which is well beneath the capsule, PspA'...
