Serogroup C meningococcal conjugate vaccines, first launched in the UK in 1999, have been used successfully in Australia, Canada and several other European countries. Combination conjugate vaccines, containing more than one meningococcal polysaccharide, have been developed to broaden protection against the disease. A tetravalent meningococcal A, C, Y and W-135 conjugate vaccine was licensed for use in 11-55 year old adolescents and adults in the US in January 2005, and subsequently also in 2-11 year old children in Canada in May 2006. This article discusses the different glycoconjugate meningococcal vaccines which have been developed and the potential for their use to control disease caused by serogroups A, C, Y and W-135 of Neisseria meningitidis.
C群脑膜炎球菌结合疫苗于1999年在英国首次推出,已在澳大利亚、加拿大和其他几个欧洲国家成功使用。已开发出包含多种脑膜炎球菌多糖的联合结合疫苗,以扩大对该疾病的保护范围。一种四价A、C、Y和W-135群脑膜炎球菌结合疫苗于2005年1月在美国获得许可,用于11至55岁的青少年和成人,随后于2006年5月在加拿大也被许可用于2至11岁的儿童。本文讨论了已开发的不同糖结合脑膜炎球菌疫苗及其用于控制由脑膜炎奈瑟菌A、C、Y和W-135群引起的疾病的潜力。
