Human protective response induced by meningococcus B vaccine is mediated by the synergy of multiple bactericidal epitopes
Abstract 4CMenB is the first broad coverage vaccine for the prevention of invasive meningococcal disease caused by serogroup B strains. To gain a comprehensive picture of the antibody response induced upon 4CMenB vaccination and to obtain relevant translational information directly from human studie...
