Genetic diversity and levels of expression of factor H binding protein among carriage isolates of Neisseria meningitidis.

Genetic diversity and levels of expression of factor H binding protein among carriage isolates of Neisseria meningitidis.

The prevention of meningococcal disease may be improved by recombinant vaccines such as 4CMenB and rLP2086 that target the factor H binding protein (fHbp), an immunogenic surface component of Neisseria meningitidis present as one of three variants. Whether such vaccines decrease carriage of invasive...
