DIEGUEZ CASTRO, R. Rosario; MUNOZ TRUJILLO, Yanin  and  CASTINEIRA DIAZ, Mirta. Western Blot technique as an identity criterion for Men B antimeningococcal vaccine. Rev Cubana Farm [online]. 2009, vol.43, n.3, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2988.

Western Blot technique was developed and validated, applied to Men B meningococcal vaccine produced in "Carlos J, Finlay" Institute to demonstrate an identity criterion. In study of antigenic proteins of the vaccine, we used P1.15 y P1.4 in vesicle of external membrane, monogranels, and end product to identify the monoclonal antibodies specific of these proteins. Parameters developed in technique validation included: specificity, detection limit, repetition, average accuracy, reproduction, and strength. Method fulfilled with specified parameters, thus considering its validation.

Keywords : Western blot technique; Men B antimeningococcal vaccine; identity; Western blot validation.
