How the Knowledge of Interactions between Meningococcus and the Human Immune System Has Been Used to Prepare Effective Neisseria meningitidis Vaccines
In the last decades, tremendous advancement in dissecting the mechanisms of pathogenicity of Neisseria meningitidis at a molecular level has been achieved, exploiting converging approaches of different disciplines, ranging from pathology to microbiology, immunology, and omics sciences (such as genomics and proteomics). Here, we review the molecular biology of the infectious agent and, in partic...
متن کاملEffect of Vaccine-Elicited Antibodies on Colonization of Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup B and C Strains in a Human Bronchial Epithelial Cell Culture Model
Capsular polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines protect individuals from invasive disease and decrease carriage, which reduces spread of the organism in the population. In contrast, antibodies elicited by plain polysaccharide or protein antigen-based meningococcal (Men) vaccines have little or no effect on decreasing carriage. In this study, we investigated the mechanism by which vaccine-ind...
متن کاملSynthesis of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W135 capsular oligosaccharides for immunogenicity comparison and vaccine development.
Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) is a Gram-negative human pathogen that causes meningococcal diseases, such as meningococcal meningitis and meningococcal septicemia. Based on the surface capsular oligosaccharides of the organism, 13 serogroups of N. meningitidis have been identified, among which A, B, C, Y, and W135 are the major pathogenic strains. Serogroup A is the pathogen most often ...
متن کاملCurrent status of meningococcal group B vaccine candidates: capsular or noncapsular?
Meningococcal meningitis is a severe, life-threatening infection for which no adequate vaccine exists. Current vaccines, based on the group-specific capsular polysaccharides, provide short-term protection in adults against serogroups A and C but are ineffective in infants and do not induce protection against group B strains, the predominant cause of infection in western countries, because the p...
متن کاملMucosal immune responses to meningococcal conjugate polysaccharide vaccines in infants.
BACKGROUND Serogroup C meningococcal conjugate polysaccharide vaccines have been reported to induce significant serum IgG antibodies and immunologic memory in infants. Because meningococcus is a mucosal pathogen colonizing the nasopharynx, local mucosal immune responses may play an important role in host defense against infection and carriage. We have investigated the mucosal IgA and IgG antibo...
