Immunoproteomic Analysis of the Development of Natural Immunity in Subjects Colonized by Neisseria meningitidis Reveals Potential Vaccine Candidates
9 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
The potential protective effect of existing vaccines against serogroup B meningococci, based on outer membrane proteins, is limited by strain restriction and apparent short duration of immune responses. In contrast, meningococcal colonization is known to stimulate the production of cross-protective antibodies as defined by the development of serum bactericidal activity (SBA) against heterologous serogroup B...
