BACTERICIDAL ANTIBODY AGAINST NEISSERIA MENINGITIDIS
Overview
Class 1 outer membrane protein PorA of Neisseria meningitidis is a vaccine, candidate against bacterial meningitis. Antibodies against PorA are able, to induce complement-mediated bacterial killing and thereby play an, important role in protection against meningococcal disease. Bactericidal, antibodies are all directed against variable regions VR1 and VR2 of the, PorA sequence, corresponding to loops 1 and 4 of a two-dimensional, topology model of the porin with eight extracellular loops. We have, determined the crystal structure to 2.6 A resolution of the Fab fragment, of bactericidal antibody MN12H2 against meningococcal PorA in complex with, a linear fluorescein-conjugated peptide TKDTNNNL derived from the VR2, sequence of sero-subtype P1.7,16 (residues 180-187) from meningococcal, ...
