Protective Activity of Monoclonal Antibodies to Genome-Derived Neisserial Antigen 1870, a Neisseria meningitidis Candidate Vaccine
1 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
Genome-derived neisserial Ag (GNA) 1870 is a meningococcal vaccine candidate that can be subdivided into three variants based on amino acid sequence variability. Variant group 1 accounts for approximately 60% of disease-producing group B isolates. The Ag went unrecognized until its discovery by genome mining because it is expressed in low copy number by most strains. To investigate the relationship between Ab...
