Vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis disease using Neisseria outer membrane protein (OMP) in particular, lactoferrin binding protein B (LbpB)

摘要

LbpB polypeptides and polynucleotides and methods for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing LbpB polypeptides and polynucleotides in the design of protocols for the treatment of neisserial disease, among others, and diagnostic assays for such conditions.
