Meningococcal Factor H Binding Proteins in Epidemic Strains from Africa: Implications for Vaccine Development

BACKGROUND: Factor H binding protein (fHbp) is an important antigen for vaccines against meningococcal serogroup B disease. The protein binds human factor H (fH), which enables the bacteria to resist serum bactericidal activity. Little is known about the vaccine-potential of fHbp for control of meni...
