Overview

Neisseria meningitidis group C capsular polysaccharide diphtheria toxoid conjugate antigen is a component of several licensed vaccines designed to prevent invasive disease caused by *Neisseria meningitidis* serogroup C. The vaccine consists of purified capsular polysaccharide from *Neisseria meningitidis* serogroup C covalently linked (conjugated) to a carrier protein, typically diphtheria toxoid or its non-toxic mutant CRM197. This conjugation enhances the immune response, especially in infants and young children, by inducing T-cell dependent immunity and immunological memory. These vaccines are indicated for active immunization against invasive meningococcal disease caused by *Neisseria meningitidis* serogroups including C (and often A, Y, W-135 in combination products). They are used globally as part of routine immunization schedules and outbreak control measures[3][6][8].
