Abstract excerpt
The FrpB protein from pathogenic neisseriae is a 77 kDa iron-regulated outer-membrane protein that belongs to the family of TonB-dependent receptors and may have potential as a vaccine component. Comparison between the frpB gene from three different meningococcal strains and a published gonococca...
