24. Most of the variation in the ability of human apo-hLf to kill Streptococcus pneumoniae is dependent on the variation in the binding of apo-hLf to surface PspA and this binding is dependent on variation in PspA as well as variation in capsule which may enhance killing by reducing the binding of apo-hLf to PspA.
