This study selects TbpB variants using phylogenetic analysis to create a bivalent vaccine formulation that elicits broad cross-reactive antibodies and shows efficacy against diverse gonococcal strains.

This study evaluates adjuvant effects on vaccine-induced immunity against Neisseria species, showing adjuvant-dependent protection and no correlation between humoral response and protection.

This study shows that antibodies and neutrophils, not complement, are critical for protecting against nasal colonization by Neisseria meningitidis.

This study shows that human transferrin and lactoferrin, along with CEACAM1, support Neisseria meningitidis colonization in mice, with transferrin playing a critical role in sepsis and colonization.
