title: [Immunity against Neisseria meningitidis in different population groups].
abstract: The determination of titers of antibodies to A and C meningococcal capsular polysaccharides by means of passive hemagglutination, proved useful in the evaluation of the effects of vaccination in a group of adults. The determination of titers of antibodies to serogroup B polysaccharide showed differences among the groups of individuals subjected to different degrees of exposure to Neisseria meningitidis. A positive correlation was found between the titer of passive hemagglutination and the number of units of IgG antibodies to polysaccharide C, determined by immunoenzymatic analysis in a group of 10 people administered an experimental vaccine.
