Human B- and T-cell responses after immunization with a hexavalent PorA meningococcal outer membrane vesicle vaccine.

The PorA protein from Neisseria meningitidis, a potential vaccine candidate, induces human bactericidal antibodies which are serosubtype specific. We developed a hexavalent PorA outer membrane vesicle vaccine based on reference strain H44/76. This vaccine contains the six most prevalent PorA serosubtypes as found in many countries.

Production, characterization and control of a Neisseria meningitidis hexavalent class 1 outer membrane protein containing vesicle vaccine.

An experimental serogroup B meningococcal vaccine was prepared from two genetically engineered strains; each expressing three different class 1 outer membrane proteins (OMPs) (PorA). The two strains expressed the subtypes P1.7,16;P1.
