Protective Antibody Responses Elicited by a Meningococcal Outer Membrane Vesicle Vaccine with Overexpressed Genome‐Derived Neisserial Antigen 1870
19 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Background. Meningococcal outer membrane vesicle (OMV) vaccines are efficacious in humans but have serosubtype-specific serum bactericidal antibody responses directed at the porin protein PorA and the potential for immune selection of PorA-escape mutants.Methods. We prepared an OMV vaccine from a Neisseria meningitidis strain engineered to overexpress genome-derived neisserial antigen (GNA) 1870, a lipoprotein...
