Immuno-proteomic analysis of human immune responses to experimental Neisseria meningitidis outer membrane vesicle vaccines identifies potential cross-reactive antigens

Highlights • Adult volunteers vaccinated with experimental Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B vaccines elicit cross-bactericidal antibodies. • Immuno-proteomics on a heterologous meningococcal strain identifies potential targets of these cross-bactericidal antisera. • Increases in bactericidal activ...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Adult volunteers vaccinated with experimental Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B vaccines elicit cross-bactericidal antibodies. • Immuno-proteomics on a heterologous meningococcal strain identifies potential targets of these cross-bactericidal antisera. • Increases in bactericidal activity against the heterologous strain correlates with immune-proteome blot reactivity. • Well-known antigens such as Rmp, Opa, porB and FpbA are identified within the immune-proteome. • Important novel antigens e.g. putative cell binding factor, exoployphosphatase and glutamyltranspeptidase are also identified.
