Complement Factor H Related Proteins and their Biological Role During Bacterial Infection
… <i>Neisseria cinerea</i>, which colonises the respiratory mucosa, expresses fHbp and binds CFH at similar affinities as meningococcal fHbp promoting bacterial survival in serum. The recently developed meningococcal vaccine, Bexsero<sup>®</sup>, includes fHbp as an antigen and antibodies …

Mechanisms Involved in Enhanced Protection Against Gram Negative Bacterium Francisella tularensis Utilizing an FcR Targeted Vaccine Platform
… activation of macrophages not only within the respiratory mucosa, but also, systemically, at the early stages of infection. These results provide important insight for further understanding the protective immune mechanisms generated when targeting immunogens to Fcγ receptors validating its …
