Serological Basis for Use of Meningococcal Serogroup C Conjugate Vaccines in the United Kingdom: Reevaluation of Correlates of Protection
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
The antibody data supporting the use of meningococcal serogroup C conjugate (MCC) vaccines in the United Kingdom were generated by serum bactericidal assay (SBA) using rabbit complement (rSBA). This may give higher titers than those obtained with human complement (hSBA), for which the "gold standard" correlate of protection for meningococcal C disease is a titer of > or =4. Comparison of rSBA and hSBA titers in...
