Sands N, Beernink P
PLoS Pathog . 2021 Jun; 17(6):e1009655. PMID: 34125873
Microbial pathogens bind host complement regulatory proteins to evade the immune system. The bacterial pathogen Neisseria meningitidis, or meningococcus, binds several complement regulators, including human Factor H (FH). FH binding...

Findlow J, Bayliss C, Beernink P, Borrow R, Liberator P, Balmer P
Vaccine . 2020 Sep; 38(49):7716-7727. PMID: 32878710
Neisseria meningitidis, the causative agent of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD), is classified into different serogroups defined by their polysaccharide capsules. Meningococcal serogroups A, B, C, W, and Y are responsible...

Beernink P
Hum Vaccin Immunother . 2019 Sep; 16(3):703-712. PMID: 31526219
Bacteria produce surface ligands for host complement regulators including Factor H (FH), which allows the bacteria to evade immunity. Meningococcal Factor H binding protein (FHbp) is both a virulence factor...

Sharkey K, Beernink P, Langley J, Gantt S, Quach C, Dold C, et al.
mSphere . 2019 Jul; 4(4). PMID: 31270173
Meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) vaccines contain recombinant factor H binding protein (FHbp), which can complex with complement factor H (CFH) and thereby risk eliciting anti-FH autoantibodies. While anti-FH antibodies can...

mBio . 2019 Jun; 10(3). PMID: 31213564
MenB-4C (Bexsero; GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals) is a licensed meningococcal vaccine for capsular B strains. The vaccine contains detergent-extracted outer membrane vesicles (dOMV) and three recombinant proteins, of which one is factor...

J Infect Dis . 2018 Oct; 219(7):1130-1137. PMID: 30346576
Background: Meningococcal outer membrane vesicle (OMV) vaccines are prepared with detergents to remove endotoxin, which also remove desirable antigens such as factor H binding protein (FHbp). Native OMV (NOMV) vaccines...
