Abstract: | Moraxella catarrhalis is a major cause of otitis media and respiratory disease. Vaccine development is at the antigen identification stage. This review examines the more promising antigens, including the 200K protein, the hemagglutinins, the lactoferrin-binding proteins, the UspA proteins, the CopB protein, the transferrin-binding proteins, the CD protein, the E protein and lipooligosaccharide conjugates. Clinical testing of some of these antigens should begin soon. |
