Abstract
A new tetravalent meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine containing groups A, C, W 135, and Y was administered to 40 healthy adults. The vaccine was well tolerated and bactericidal assay showed mean titre increases for the meningococcal polysaccharide groups A, C, W 135, and Y of 5.0, 7.8, 8.2, and 5.9 log(2) titre steps, respectively. The immunogenicity and side-effects of the vaccine were similar to those associated with monovalent and bivalent vaccines containing group A and C meningococcal polysaccharides.Entities:
