摘要:
The present invention is directed to purified immunogenic polypeptides comprising an epitope unit recognized by a protective monoclonal antibody having a high affinity and a high specificity for the O-antigen from serotype 2a Shigella flexneri. The invention also concerns the use of said purified immunogenic polypeptides for the preparation of vaccine against serotype 2a S . flexneri infection and for the preparation of diagnostic compositions for the detection of serotype 2a S . flexneri infection. Finally, the present invention comprises high-resolution crystal structures of said natural O-antigen, or functional fragments thereof, possibly synthetic, and a the mimetic peptide, in complex with a protective monoclonal antibody, or functional fragments thereof, and to methods for selecting immunogenic polypeptides for the preparation of new candidate vaccinal compositions based on said crystals.
