Immunogenicity and safety of a combination of two serogroup B meningococcal outer membrane vesicle vaccines.
MenBvac and MeNZB are safe and efficacious vaccines against serogroup B meningococcal disease. MenBvac is prepared from a B:15:P1.7,16 meningococcal strain (strain 44/76), and MeNZB is prepared from a B:4:P1.7-2,4 strain (strain NZ98/254). At 6-week intervals, healthy adults received three doses of MenBvac (25 microg), MeNZB (25 microg), or the MenBvac and MeNZB (doses of 12.5 microg of each va...
متن کاملVaccines against meningococcal serogroup B disease containing outer membrane vesicles (OMV)
The utility of wild-type outer membrane vesicle (wtOMV) vaccines against serogroup B (MenB) meningococcal disease has been explored since the 1970s. Public health interventions in Cuba, Norway and New Zealand have demonstrated that these protein-based vaccines can prevent MenB disease. Data from large clinical studies and retrospective statistical analyses in New Zealand give effectiveness esti...
متن کاملMeningococcal serogroup B vaccines: Estimating breadth of coverage
Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (MenB) is an important cause of invasive meningococcal disease. The development of safe and effective vaccines with activity across the diversity of MenB strains has been challenging. While capsular polysaccharide conjugate vaccines have been highly successful in the prevention of disease due to meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y, this approach has not be...
متن کاملComplex of meningococcal group B polysaccharide and type 2 outer membrane protein immunogenic in man.
A noncovalent complex of meningococcal group B polysaccharide and type 2 outer membrane protein has been characterized and its potential as a vaccine against group B meningococcal disease investigated. The polysaccharide component was found to have a partition coefficient, K(d), of 0.34 on Sepharose CL-4B in the presence of sodium deoxycholate. The protein consisted of four to five major protei...
متن کاملIn Silico Studies of Outer Membrane of Neisseria Meningitidis PorA: Its Expression and Immunogenic Properties
Neisseria meningitidis is a major causative agent of bacterial septicemia and meningitis in humans. Currently, there are no vaccines to prevent disease caused by strains of N.meningitidis serogroup B. The Class 1 Outer Membrane Protein (OMP) has been named porA which is a cation selective transmembrane protein of 45 KDa that forms trimeric pore in the meningococcal outer membrane. PorA from ser...
