    Identification of vaccine candidates against serogroup B meningococcus by whole-genome sequencing (2000)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2000-03-10
    Description: Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of bacterial septicemia and meningitis. Sequence variation of surface-exposed proteins and cross-reactivity of the serogroup B capsular polysaccharide with human tissues have hampered efforts to develop a successful vaccine. To overcome these obstacles, the entire genome sequence of a virulent serogroup B strain (MC58) was used to identify vaccine candidates. A total of 350 candidate antigens were expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and used to immunize mice. The sera allowed the identification of proteins that are surface exposed, that are conserved in sequence across a range of strains, and that induce a bactericidal antibody response, a property known to correlate with vaccine efficacy in humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pizza, M -- Scarlato, V -- Masignani, V -- Giuliani, M M -- Arico, B -- Comanducci, M -- Jennings, G T -- Baldi, L -- Bartolini, E -- Capecchi, B -- Galeotti, C L -- Luzzi, E -- Manetti, R -- Marchetti, E -- Mora, M -- Nuti, S -- Ratti, G -- Santini, L -- Savino, S -- Scarselli, M -- Storni, E -- Zuo, P -- Broeker, M -- Hundt, E -- Knapp, B -- Blair, E -- Mason, T -- Tettelin, H -- Hood, D W -- Jeffries, A C -- Saunders, N J -- Granoff, D M -- Venter, J C -- Moxon, E R -- Grandi, G -- Rappuoli, R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Mar 10;287(5459):1816-20.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉IRIS, Chiron S.p.A., Via Fiorentina 1, 53100 Siena, Italy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10710308" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Identification of a universal Group B streptococcus vaccine by multiple genome screen (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-07-05
    Description: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a multiserotype bacterial pathogen representing a major cause of life-threatening infections in newborns. To develop a broadly protective vaccine, we analyzed the genome sequences of eight GBS isolates and cloned and tested 312 surface proteins as vaccines. Four proteins elicited protection in mice, and their combination proved highly protective against a large panel of strains, including all circulating serotypes. Protection also correlated with antigen accessibility on the bacterial surface and with the induction of opsonophagocytic antibodies. Multigenome analysis and screening described here represent a powerful strategy for identifying potential vaccine candidates against highly variable pathogens.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1351092/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1351092/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Maione, Domenico -- Margarit, Immaculada -- Rinaudo, Cira D -- Masignani, Vega -- Mora, Marirosa -- Scarselli, Maria -- Tettelin, Herve -- Brettoni, Cecilia -- Iacobini, Emilia T -- Rosini, Roberto -- D'Agostino, Nunzio -- Miorin, Lisa -- Buccato, Scilla -- Mariani, Massimo -- Galli, Giuliano -- Nogarotto, Renzo -- Nardi-Dei, Vincenzo -- Vegni, Filipo -- Fraser, Claire -- Mancuso, Giuseppe -- Teti, Giuseppe -- Madoff, Lawrence C -- Paoletti, Lawrence C -- Rappuoli, Rino -- Kasper, Dennis L -- Telford, John L -- Grandi, Guido -- AI-060603/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI060603/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jul 1;309(5731):148-50.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Chiron srl, Via Fiorentina 1, 53100 Siena, Italy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15994562" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Genome analysis reveals pili in Group B Streptococcus (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-07-05
    Description: Pili are essential virulence factors in many Gram-negative bacteria; however, they have not been described in most important Gram-positive pathogens. While screening the sequence of multiple genomes of Group B Streptococcus, we identified protective antigens that formed high molecular weight polymers. Immunogold electron microscopy revealed that the structures have a pilus-like form. These large structures have gone unrecognized in decades of studies of Group B Streptococcus.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lauer, Peter -- Rinaudo, Cira D -- Soriani, Marco -- Margarit, Immaculada -- Maione, Domenico -- Rosini, Roberto -- Taddei, Anna Rita -- Mora, Marirosa -- Rappuoli, Rino -- Grandi, Guido -- Telford, John L -- U01-AI060693-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jul 1;309(5731):105.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Chiron Srl, Via Fiorentina 1, 53100 Siena, Italy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15994549" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
