Geometric mean concentrations (GMC) of IgG responses to PspA1 (a) and PspA2 (b) in non-carrier (grey bars) and Streptococcus pneumoniae carrier (black bars) infants at 3, 9, and 18 months of age. Error bars indicate 95 % confidence intervals of the GMC. ✩ p ≤ 0.05 is considered a statistically significant difference. PspA, pneumococcal surface protein A; AU/ml, arbitrary ELISA units/ml
