Naturally-occurring human serum antibodies to inner core lipopolysaccharide epitopes of Neisseria meningitidis protect against invasive meningococcal disease caused by isolates displaying homologous inner core structures.
description:
The epitope is the inner core region of LOS from N. meningitidis MC58 and other strains.
The epitope-specific IgG preparation reacts with whole cells in FACS with mutants that lack PEtn at position 3 of HepII in the inner core region of the LOS (lpt3 mutant) and the LOS lacking also the outer core (icsB-lpt3 mutant) but failed to react with the WT (MC58 strain).
