The potential impact of 4CMenB on strain coverage is being estimated by using Meningococcal Antigen Typing System (MATS), an ELISA assay which measures vaccine antigen expression and diversity in each strain.  The levels of expression and cross-reactivity of fHbp, NHBA and NadA were analyzed using MATS ELISA.


 Global estimated strain coverage by MATS was 68.67% (95% CI: 47.77-84.59%), with 51.33%, 15.33% and 2% of strains covered by one, two and three vaccine antigens, respectively.
