New research, 'Neonatal immune response and serum bactericidal activity induced by a meningococcal conjugate vaccine is enhanced by LT-K63 and CpG2006,' is the subject of a report. "Neonates have a poorly developed immune system. Therefore it is important to develop vaccination strategies that induce protective immunity and immunological memory against pathogens early in life," investigators in Reykjavik, Iceland report. "The immunogenicity of a meningococcal serogroup C polysaccharide conjugate (MenC-CRM(197)) was assessed in neonatal mice, and effects of LT-K63 and CpG2006 and immunisation routes were compared. Neonatal mice were primed subcutaneously (s.c.) or...
