Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Acquired deficiency of innate immunity (ficolin-2) among elderly adults
Invasive diseases caused by serotype 11A Streptococcus pneumoniae are common among elderly adults and cancer patients, but are rare among young adults and children. Our studies have revealed that ficolin-2 provides innate immunity against pneumococcal infections by serotype 11A in young adults, while the innate immunity is non-functional in many elderly adults because most of their sera contain inhibitors to ficolin-2. We propose to study the epidemiology, clinical significance, and molecular bases for these ficolin-2 inhibitors because such studies will provide new insights into managing pneumococcal infections among elderly adults, immunosenescence, and the acquired deficiency of innate immunity.

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.
Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.
ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
