Abstract
Peptides that mimic the antigenic features of non human-cross-reactive protective epitopes of the MenB CP and nucleic acids encoding the peptide mimetics are disclosed. Antibodies elicited by these peptides do not bind to polysialic acid in host tissue and thus provide a safe and efficacious method for the treatment and/or prevention of Meningitis B.
