Title: Opsonophagocytic activity against group b meningococci: An additional laboratory correlate of protection against meningococcal disease?
Author: Audun Aase
Appeared in: VacciMonitor
Paging: Volume 18 (2009) nr. 2 pages 84-86
Year: 2009
Contents: Opsonophagocytic activity and serum bactericidal activity against group B meningococci were compared in sera from three vaccine groups given two different outer membrane vesicles vaccines separately or in combination.Opsonophagocytic activity defined more responders and revealed more cross-reactivity against heterologous strains than observed with serum bactericidal activity, and it showed the highest correlation with IgG-binding to live meningococci. Determination of opsonophagocytic activity may therefore be a valuable laboratory supplement to serum bactericidal activity for monitoring protection against group B meningococcal disease.
