| human immunity to the meningococcus. ii. development of natural immunity. | results of the present study suggest that natural immunity to meningococcal disease is initiated, reinforced, and broadened by intermittent carriage of different strains of meningococci throughout life. in young adults, carriage of meningococci in the nasopharynx is an efficient process of immune sensitization. 92% of carriers of serogroup b, c, or bo meningococci were found to develop increased titers of serum bactericidal activity to their own meningococcal isolate, and 87% developed bacterici ... | 1969 | 4977281 |
