    摘要: The present invention is directed to methods of preventing reactivation of active and latent M. tuberculosis infections by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a nucleic acid encoding a Mtb72f fusion protein, or a Mtb72f fusion protein or an immunogenic fragment thereof, for example together with an adjuvant. The Mtb72f nucleic acid or fusion protein can be administered with one or more chemotherapeutic agents effective against a M. tuberculosis infection. The methods also provide for shortening the time course of a chemotherapeutic regimen against a M. tuberculosis infection.

    摘要: This invention relates to three newly-identified, distinct groups of antigenic peptides [LB1(f) peptides] from the same region of the P5-like fimbrin protein discovered using sequence data from the fimbrin protein of many Haemophilus influenzae strains. The invention additionally provides chimeric polypeptides that carry one or more representatives of such peptides from different groups and which induce an immunogenic response in animals to Haemophilus influenzae. The peptides and polypeptides of the invention will be useful in vaccine compositions which provide protection against a wide range of H. influenzae strains.
