摘要:
The present invention discloses the existence of two novel proteins UspA1 and UspA2, and their respective genes uspA1 and uspA2. Each protein encompasses a region that is conserved between the two proteins and comprises an epitope that is recognized by the MAb 17C7. One or more than one of these species may aggregate to form the very high molecular weight form (i.e. greater than 200 kDa) of the UspA antigen. Compositions and both diagnostic and therapeutic methods for the treatment and study of M. catarrhalis are disclosed.

摘要:
The present invention features polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence structurally related to SEQ ID NO: 1 and uses of such polypeptides and compositions thereof. SEQ ID NO: 1 is a full length S. aureus sequence. A derivative of SEQ ID NO: 1 containing an amino terminus his-tag was found to produce a protective immune response against S. aureus.

摘要:
The present invention features antigen binding protein that bind an ORF0657n target region (SEQ ID NO: 1). ORF0657n is an S. aureus protein. ORF0657n target regions are provided by the mAb 1G3.BD4, mAb 2H2.BE11, mAb 13C7.BC1, and mAb 13G11.BF3 binding sites. In a lethal model challenge, mAb 2H2.BE11 and mAb 13C7.BC1 provided for increased survival against S. aureus infection. There was also protection demonstrated in an ex vivo model with either the IgG1 or the IgG2b form of mAb 2H2; and in a passive immunization murine indwelling catheter model using mAb 2H2.BE11.

摘要:
The present invention features antigen binding proteins that bind to a region found to have an epitope that can be targeted to provide protection against S. aureus infection. The region is designated herein as the “CS-D7” target region. The CS-D7 target region provides an S. aureus ORF0657n epitope that can be targeted to reduce the likelihood or severity of an S. aureus infection.
摘要:
A high molecular weight polysaccharide intracellular adhesin (SAE) antigen having the general structure of poly-1,6,β-2-amidoglucopyranoside, which is variable substituted with N-acetyl and O-succinyl substituents is described. Also, a method is given for isolating this antigen from Staphylococcus aureus. The SAE can be used in a vaccine, either alone, conjugated to an immunogenic protein, and/or with an immunogenic adjuvant.
