Radioactive antigen binding tests have been developed to measure quantitatively the antibody response of 167 adults, 84 children, and 51 infants to several different preparations of group A and group C meningococcal polysaccharides. Almost all the adults injected responded and the geometric mean responses were approximately 15 μg/ml of antibody protein in individuals vaccinated subcutaneously with two preparations of group A vaccine. The geometric mean antibody concentration after immunization with two preparations of group C vaccine was approximately 35 μg/ml. Most children aged 7 yr responded to immunization with two group A vaccines, and their mean response was only slightly less than that seen in adults. There was no difference between the subcutaneous and the intradermal route if both were given with jet gun. The majority of infants aged 6-13 months responded to a preparation of group A vaccine and the geometric mean titer was approximately 1.2 μg/ml. Adults, children, and infants responded significantly less to a preparation of group A polysaccharide which was of low molceular weight.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
