Genetically Modified L3,7 and L2 Lipooligosaccharides from Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup B Confer a Broad Cross-Bactericidal Response
17 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Currently available Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (MenB) vaccines are based on outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that are obtained from wild-type strains. They are purified with the aim of decreasing the lipooligosaccharide (LOS) content and hence reduce the reactogenicity of the vaccine even though LOS is a potential protective antigen. In <2-year-old children, these MenB vaccines confer protection only...
