Putative Vaccine Antigens fromNeisseria meningitidisRecognized by Serum Antibodies of Young Children Convalescing after Meningococcal Disease
21 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
Serum samples from 31 children < or = 4 years old who were convalescing after meningococcal disease were used in a quantitative hybridization assay to establish antibody reactivity to 94 candidate meningococcal vaccine antigens. Genes encoding 22 of 23 strongly recognized proteins were found in > or = 94% of the patients' meningococcal strains, and most were also widely prevalent in Neisseria lactamica and other...
