Antibody-initiated complement-dependent killing contributes to host defenses against invasive meningococcal disease. Sera from non-immunized individuals vary widely in their bactericidal activity against group B meningococci. We show that IgG isolated from select individuals can block killing of group B meningococci by human sera that are otherwise bactericidal. This IgG also reduced the bactericidal efficacy of antibodies directed against the group B meningococcal protein vaccine candidates factor H-binding protein (fHbp) currently undergoing clinical trials, and Neisserial surface protein A (NspA). Immunoblots revealed that the blocking IgG was directed against a meningococcal antigen called H.8. Killing of meningococci in reactions containing bactericidal mAbs and human blocking Abs was restored when binding of blocking Ab to meningococci was inhibited using either synthetic peptides corresponding to H.8 or a non-blocking mAb against H.8. Further, genetic deletion of H.8 from target organisms abrogated blocking. The Fc region of the blocking IgG was required for blocking because F(ab)2 fragments were ineffective. Blocking required IgG glycosylation because deglycosylation with peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) eliminated blocking. C4b deposition mediated by an anti-fHbp mAb was reduced by intact blocking IgG, but not by PNGase-treated blocking IgG, suggesting that blocking resulted from inhibition of classical pathway of complement. In conclusion, we have identified H.8 as a meningococcal target for novel blocking antibodies in human serum. Such blocking Ab may reduce the efficacy of select anti-group B meningococcal protein vaccines. We also propose that outer membrane vesicle-containing meningococcal vaccines may be more efficacious if purged of subversive immunogens such as H.8.
