This is the first study that has identified T-cell responses to peptides derived from a protein (StkP) from S. pneumoniae and has shown that in healthy adults, specific T cells have rapid IFN-g production compatible with effector cell differentiation. The use of such T-cell epitopes will aid in the future monitoring of T-cell responses to both S. pneumoniae infection and vaccination in humans
