Title:
PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ERYSIPELOTHRIX RHUSIOPATHIAE SURFACE PROTECTIVE ANTIGEN MUTANT IN ESCHERICHIA COLI
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/083072
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a mutant of a surface protective antigen SpaA protein of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae or a shortened SpaA protein (&Dgr SpaA) obtained by removing a part therefrom and a process for producing the same. By introducing an amino acid substituent into a definite position of the amino acid sequence of the SpaA protein or the &Dgr SpaA protein, a mutant of the SpaA protein or the &Dgr SpaA protein having immunogenicity and being expressed as an inclusion body in Escherichia coli can be obtained. Because of being expressed as an insoluble inclusion body in Escherichia coli, the above-described mutant of the SpaA protein or the &Dgr SpaA protein can be easily collected and purified.
