To this end, the invention in particular provides a lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of N. meningitidis in particular constituted by a lipid A, an inner core, an ? chain of L6 or L8 type, in which the heptose II residue of the inner core bears in position O-3 and in position O-6 or O-7 a phosphoethanolamine (PEA) substituent, and also to the construction of the strain of N. meningitidis that is capable of expressing such an LOS. The invention also relates to a strain of N. meningitidis of serogroup A that bears a lipooligosaccharide (LOS) in particular constituted by a lipid A, an inner core, an ? chain of L6 type, in which the heptose II residue of the inner core bears in position O-3 a phosphoethanolamine (PEA) substituent and does not bear a PEA substituent in positions O-6 and O-7.

Abstract: The invention relates to immunogenic compositions comprising at least two Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) protein antigens selected from the group consisting of a trypsin-like serine protease auto-transporter antigen such as IgAI P, App or AusI antigen, a NalP antigen and a TbpB antigen. Preferably, the composition of the invention comprises (i) the trypsin-like serine protease auto-transporter antigen and (ii) the NalP antigen and/or TbpB antigen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel polypeptides derived from Neisseria meningitidis proteins, in particular auto-transporters of the trypsin-like serine protease subclass, such as IgA1P, App and AusI, and their use in immunogenic compositions i.a., vaccine compositions for the prevention and/or treatment of meningococcal infections. In particular, it provides fragments of IgA1P, App and AusI and polypeptides comprising or consisting of these fragments and fusions thereof, which may be used in immunogenic compositions, for example vaccine compositions.
