PorA, fetA and fHbp are three antigen encoding genes useful for meningococcal typing and FHbp is an important component of meningococcal B vaccines.
We performed sequence analysis of meningococcal porA, fetA and fHbp genes on 128 isolates from Western Australia, relating results to age, gender, race and geographic region.
We found predominantly PorA subtypes P1.22,14-16 (n = 23) and P1.7-2,4 (n = 19); FetA subtypes F1-5 (n = 41), F3-6 (n = 11), F5-1 (n = 10), F5-2 (n = 9), F5-5 (n = 8), F3-3 (n = 8); and FHbp variant groups 1 (n = 65) and 2 (n = 44). PorA P1.22,14-16 and FHbp variant group 2 were associated with younger age and aboriginality.
FHbp modular groups of the bivalent recombinant FHbp vaccine and the multicomponent 4CMenB vaccine make up 8.3% and 47.7% respectively of the examined serogroup B isolates from 2000-2011, however to estimate vaccine efficacy requires an account of all vaccine antigens and their levels of expression.
PorA、fetA和fHbp是三种用于脑膜炎球菌分型的抗原编码基因,且fHbp是B群脑膜炎球菌疫苗的重要组成部分。
我们对来自西澳大利亚的128株分离株进行了脑膜炎球菌porA、fetA和fHbp基因的序列分析,并将结果与年龄、性别、种族和地理区域相关联。
我们主要发现了PorA亚型P1.22,14 - 16(n = 23)和P1.7 - 2,4(n = 19);FetA亚型F1 - 5(n = 41)、F3 - 6(n = 11)、F5 - 1(n = 10)、F5 - 2(n = 9)、F5 - 5(n = 8)、F3 - 3(n = 8);以及fHbp变异组1(n = 65)和2(n = 44)。PorA P1.22,14 - 16和fHbp变异组2与较年轻的年龄和原住民身份相关。
二价重组fHbp疫苗和多组分4CMenB疫苗的fHbp模块化组分别占2000 - 2011年检测的B群分离株的8.3%和47.7%,然而要评估疫苗效力需要考虑所有疫苗抗原及其表达水平。
