Endogenous complement human serum bactericidal assay (enc-hSBA) for vaccine effectiveness assessments against meningococcal serogroup B
Abstract Immunogenicity of vaccines against meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) has been assessed pre-licensure with a human serum bactericidal activity assay (hSBA), tested against small numbers of strains. We report the qualification/validation of an alternative qualitative hSBA which uses endogenous...
