Trained Immunity in Childhood Vaccination

Acta Paediatrica, Volume 115, Issue 11, Page 2402-2413, November 2026.
Trained immunity as an emerging concept in paediatric vaccinology. Trained immunity links vaccine stimuli through epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming to enhanced innate immune cell function, thereby strengthening protection against diverse pathogens while promoting adaptive immune responses through more efficient antigen presentation and co ...

The Hfq regulon of Neisseria meningitidis

FEBS Open Bio, 2017
The conserved RNA‐binding protein, Hfq, has multiple regulatory roles within the prokaryotic cell, including promoting stable duplex formation between small RNAs and mRNAs, and thus hfq deletion mutants have pleiotropic phenotypes. Previous proteome and transcriptome studies of Neisseria meningitidis have generated limited insight into differential ...

The lack of specificity of sodC-based PCR for the detection of Neisseria meningitidis carriage in pharyngeal swabs from adolescents

Microbiology Spectrum
The utility of the superoxide dismutase C (sodC) gene for detecting Neisseria meningitidis carriage in pharyngeal swab samples is unclear. While it has been explored as an alternative to the capsule transport A gene for detecting invasive strains, its ...

Interaction of complement with Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1989
The importance of the complement system in host defense against systemic infection caused by neisseriae is emphasized by a number of clinical observations documenting the importance of antibody-dependent, complement-mediated serum bactericidal activity in protection from systemic meningococcal disease (17) and the well-recognized association between ...
