Beschreibung:
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〉
