Evidence for Naturally Acquired T Cell-Mediated Mucosal Immunity to Neisseria meningitidis
1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Naturally acquired protective immunity against Neisseria meningitidis is thought to partially explain the disparity between the high levels of carriage in the human nasopharynx and the rare incidence of disease. To investigate this immunity to Neisseria meningitidis at the mucosal level, in vitro cellular responses to outer membrane vesicle preparations derived from this pathogen were examined using mononuclear...
