Title: Bacterial pathogenesis: Meningococcus warms up to immune evasion.
Authors: Kåhrström, Christina Tobin
Abstract: The article reports on the results of a study which showed that temperature increase is involved in triggering immune evasion by Neisseria meningitidis due to capsule biosynthesis, lipopolysaccharide sialylation, and factor H-binding protein expression.
Subjects: NEISSERIA meningitidis; HIGH temperatures; CARRIER proteins
