Abstract:
NTHI protein antigens have been identified and found to be conserved across several Haemophilus influenzae pathogenic strains. They have been isolated, cloned from a reference strain and tested for immunogenicity. Methods for immunization and vaccines derived thereof are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Gram-negative bacterial strains are generated by inactivating at least one LytM catalytic domain-containing protein, such as NT013, NT017 and NT022 of non typeable H influenzae. The vesicles from these strains are useful for vaccination.
