Functional Analysis of the Human Antibody Response to Meningococcal Factor H Binding Protein

ABSTRACT Two licensed serogroup B meningococcal vaccines contain factor H binding protein (FHbp). The antigen specifically binds human FH, which downregulates complement. In wild-type mice whose mouse FH does not bind to FHbp vaccines, the serum anti-FHbp antibody response inhibited binding of human...
