The Effect of Immune Selection on the Structure of the Meningococcal Opa Protein Repertoire

The opa genes of the Gram negative bacterium Neisseria meningitidis encode Opacity-associated outer membrane proteins whose role is to promote adhesion to the human host tissue during colonisation and invasion.
