Recombinant Neisseria meningitidis Transferrin Binding Protein A Protects against Experimental Meningococcal Infection

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TbpA used as a vaccine antigen may provide protection against a wider range of meningococcal strains than does TbpB alone, and indicates that serum bactericidal activity may not always be the most appropriate predictor of efficacy for protein-based meningitis vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nasopharyngeal Colonization by Neisseria lactamica and Induction of Protective Immunity against Neisseria meningitidis

TL;DR: Carriers of N. lactamica develop mucosal and systemic humoral immunity to N. meningitidis carriage, independent ofhumoral immunity, and some individuals are intrinsically resistant to Nmeningitidis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase I Safety and Immunogenicity Study of a Candidate Meningococcal Disease Vaccine Based on Neisseria lactamica Outer Membrane Vesicles

TL;DR: The N. lactamica OMV vaccine is safe and induces a weak but broad humoral immune response to N. meningitidis, and was immunogenic, eliciting rises in titers of immunoglobulin G (IgG) against the vaccine OMVs, together with a significant booster response as determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Journal ArticleDOI

The development of a meningococcal disease vaccine based on Neisseria lactamica outer membrane vesicles.

TL;DR: Pre-clinical data indicate that N. lactamica outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) may provide a vaccine effective against diverse disease-causing meningococcal strains, and the vaccine is currently being manufactured and validated ELISA protocols have been developed for the analysis of serological responses.
