Method of Enhancing Opsonophagocytosis

This invention aims to bolster the human body's own mechanisms to fight infection by enhancing an innate immune response, opsonophagocytosis. The specific 24 amino acid sequence (P4) acts as a polymorphonuclear cell activator. P4 can be administered in vivo along with a disease's specific antibody to enhance systemic bacterial clearance, thus leading to prolonged survival. This technology enhances the body's response to infections such as S. pneumoniae and S. aureus.
