Answer:

Hemoglobin is an important intracellular protein buffer present inside the red blood cells (RBC). When the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) is increased, it freely diffuses into the RBC where it reacts with water molecules to form carbonic acid which dissociates to form bicarbonate and hydrogen ions by the enzyme carbonic acid which dissociates to form bicarbonate and hydrogen ions by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. Hydrogen ions liberated in this reaction are buffered by hemoglobin.

Sedbober [7]

Safety and immunogenicity of a stabilized RSV prefusion F subunit (RSVpreF) vaccine candidate with/without adjuvant in adults 65 - 85 years.

<h3>What are the results of Study of a Respiratory Syncytial Virus ?</h3>

All RSVpreF vaccine candidates elicited robust and persistent serum neutralizing responses when administered alone or with SIIV.

  • There was no notable difference in neutralizing response between the formulations, including those containing CpG. In the Month 0,2 Cohort, there was no booster effect of dose 2.

  • SIIV responses were similar or slightly lower with concomitant administration of RSVpreF. Most systemic and local reactions were mild and more frequent after RSVpreF than placebo.
