Bacterial protein microarrays for identification of new potential diagnostic markers for <b><i>Neisseria meningitidis</i></b> infections

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis is the most common cause of meningitis and causes epidemic outbreaks. One trait of N. meningitidis, which is associated with most of the currently recognized virulence determinants, is the presence of phase-variable genes that are suspected to enhance its ability to cause an invasive disease. To detect the immune responses to phase-variable expressed proteins, we applied protein microarray...
