Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup B Vaccine, Bivalent rLP2086, Induces Broad Serum Bactericidal Activity Against Diverse Invasive Disease Strains Including Outbreak Strains

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bivalent rLP2086 (Trumenba), 1 of 2 meningococcal serogroup B (MnB) vaccines recently approved in the United States for the prevention of MnB disease in individuals 10-25 years of age, is composed of 2 lipidated factor H binding proteins from subfamilies A and B.
