Antibody Responses Following Meningococcal Tetravalent (A, C, Y, and W-135) Conjugate Vaccination in Healthy Adults

Summary

This study was designed to generate data for the assessment of Meningococcal Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate vaccine (Menactra®) when given to adults aged 18 to 55 years. Primary Objective: To describe the antibody response to each serogroup prior to, and 4 to 6 weeks following, the administration of one dose of the investigational Meningococcal Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate vaccine (Menactra®), as measured by serum bactericidal activity using baby rabbit complement (SBA BR) in participants in each of the two study groups. Secondary Objective: To collect reference sera for the development and refinement of laboratory assays for the measurement of antibody responses to serogroups Y and W 135.
