Title:
85 kDa NEISSERIAL ANTIGEN
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011055838
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To determine the antigenic components of meningitis vaccine and characterize them to enable the preparation of more preferably determined vaccine (for example, an acellular subunit vaccine), and to diverse strains of Neisseria to induce immunity.
An 85 kDa antigen from Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been cloned, sequenced and expressed. The antigen is common to diverse strains, serogroups and serotypes of N. meningitidis, and also to N. gonorrhoeae, N. polysaccharia and N. lactamica. The protein sequences of N. meningitidis (serogroups A and B) and N. gonorrhoeae are highly homologous.
