Identification and characterisation of vaccine candidate proteins in the Neisseria meningitidis surface proteome
2011-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of meningitis and septicaemia in infants and children. Disease caused by serogroup A, C, W-135 and Y strains is prevented by vaccination using capsular polysaccharide preparations. For serogroup B strains for which the capsular polysaccharide is poorly immunogenic, antigenic proteins on the bacterial surface are under investigation as promising vaccine candidates. Due to the...
