Induction of a T cell-dependent antibody response to polysaccharides, such as Haemophilus influenzae B and pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides


ANS: D. Conjugate vaccines are composed of bacterial capsular polysaccharides covalently coupled to proteins. This hapten-carrier arrangement promotes T cell-dependent responses to the polysaccharides, which is required for protective IgG memory responses. Polysaccharides alone do not activate T cells and therefore do not induce isotype switching or memory cell generation.
