This project investigates the invasive nature of meningococcal infections caused by serogroup W and aims to identify protective antibodies. The research focuses on understanding virulence factors and the immune response to enhance prevention strategies against these infections.
Highly invasive meningococcal infections with serogroup W of clonal type cc11 are rapidly increasing and have a high (16-25%) mortality rate.
The aim of this project is to investigate why recent isolates are invasive and how different antibodies can protect.
Special focus will be on protection of epithelial cells of the wall of the respiratory tract as prevention of infection may be key to protect the public against infection with MenW cc11.Recent clinical isolates of different clinical invasive…
