Vaccine potential of the Neisseria meningitidis 2086 lipoprotein.
A novel antigen that induces cross-reactive bactericidal antibodies against a number of Neisseria meningitidis strains is described. This antigen, a approximately 28-kDa lipoprotein called LP2086, was first observed within a complex mixture of soluble outer membrane proteins (sOMPs) following a series of fractionation, protein purification, and proteomics steps. Approximately 95 different neiss...
متن کاملVaccine development against Neisseria meningitidis
Meningococcal disease is communicable by close contact or droplet aerosols. Striking features are high case fatality rates and peak incidences of invasive disease in infants, toddlers and adolescents. Vaccine development is hampered by bacterial immune evasion strategies including molecular mimicry.As for Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae, no vaccine has therefore been develop...
متن کاملIn silico Homology Modeling and Epitope Prediction of NadA as a Potential Vaccine Candidate in Neisseria meningitidis
Neisseria meningitidis is a facultative pathogen bacterium which is well founded with a number of adhesion molecules to facilitate its colonization in human nasopharynx track. Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of mortality from sever meningococcal disease and septicemia. The Neisseria meningitidis adhesion, NadA, is a trimeric autotransporter adhesion molecule which is involved in cell ad...
متن کاملThe Adhesin Complex Protein (ACP) of Neisseria meningitidis Is a New Adhesin with Vaccine Potential
UNLABELLED The acp gene encoding the 13-kDa adhesin complex protein (ACP) from Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B strain MC58 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the purified recombinant ACP (rACP) was used for immunization studies. Analysis of the ACP amino acid sequences from 13 meningococcal strains, isolated from patients and colonized individuals, and 178 strains in the Bacte...
متن کاملPotential impact of the bivalent rLP2086 vaccine on Neisseria meningitidis carriage and invasive serogroup B disease
Asymptomatic throat carriage of Neisseria meningitidis is common in healthy individuals. In unusual cases, the bacteria become invasive, resulting in life-threatening disease. Effective meningococcal serogroup B (MnB) vaccines should provide broad protection against disease-causing strains and may confer indirect protection by impacting carriage and subsequent transmission. Factor H binding pro...
