High molecular weight group A and group C meningococcal polysaccharides had no significant toxicity for mice or guinea pigs. Furthermore, these polysaccharide preparations contained negligible amounts of biologically active endotoxin. The high molecular weight group A and group C meningococcal polysaccharides were excellent immunogens in six human volunteers. Antibodies belonging to the immunoglobulin classes IgG, IgM, and IgA were produced. These antibodies were highly meningococcocidal in the presence of complement.
高分子量A群和C群脑膜炎球菌多糖对小鼠或豚鼠无明显毒性。此外,这些多糖制剂中生物活性内毒素的含量可忽略不计。高分子量A群和C群脑膜炎球菌多糖对6名人类志愿者是优良的免疫原。产生了属于免疫球蛋白类IgG、IgM和IgA的抗体。在补体存在的情况下,这些抗体具有高度的杀脑膜炎球菌活性。
