Mechanism of action

GSK 1024850A is a conjugate vaccine that links pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides from multiple serotypes to a protein carrier, enhancing T-cell dependent immune responses. This approach improves immunogenicity compared to unconjugated polysaccharide vaccines, particularly in young children and immunocompromised populations. The vaccine aims to provide broader serotype coverage and more durable protection against invasive pneumococcal disease.
