Abstract excerpt
The immunogenicity of outer membrane complexes (OMCs) or heat-inactivated bacteria of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-deficient mutant derived from meningococcal strain H44/76 was studied. The immune response in BALB/c mice to the major outer membrane proteins was poor compared to the immune response elicited by wild-type immunogens. However, addition of external H44/76 LPS to mutant OMCs entirely restored the immune...
