Brief summary

The determination of reference values is a necessary basis for research and clinical routine testing for pneumococci antibodies

Detailed description

This study is meant to determine specific pneumococcal antibodies stratified for age. The investigators also correlate our assay with the results from a commercially available pneumococcal screening ELISA (iGG1 and IgG2) in order to facilitate a screening for immunodeficiency, and to monitor the success of a performed immunization
