How the Knowledge of Interactions between Meningococcus and the Human Immune System Has Been Used to Prepare Effective<i>Neisseria meningitidis</i>Vaccines

Abstract excerpt

In the last decades, tremendous advancement in dissecting the mechanisms of pathogenicity of Neisseria meningitidis at a molecular level has been achieved, exploiting converging approaches of different disciplines, ranging from pathology to microbiology, immunology, and omics sciences (such as genomics and proteomics). Here, we review the molecular biology of the infectious agent and, in particular, its...
