Dynamics of Carriage of Neisseria meningitidis in a Group of Military Recruits: Subtype Stability and Specificity of the Immune Response following Colonization
1 Aug 1998
Abstract excerpt
Meningococcal carriage and the immune response to colonization were studied in a group of military recruits undergoing basic training. Subtyping by determination of the class 1 protein sequence clearly differentiated between strains and demonstrated the dynamics of carriage and transmission. Expression of class 1 protein by each strain remained stable during prolonged carriage by different subjects. Following...
