Abstract:
The present invention relates to antigens, more particularly an antigen of Streptococcus pyogenes (also called group A Streptococcus (GAS)) bacterial pathogen which is useful as vaccine component for therapy and/or prophylaxis.
Abstract:
The identification of a highly conserved, immunologically accessible antigen at the surface of Neisseria facilitates treatment, prophylaxis, and diagnosis of Neisseria diseases. This antigen is highly resistant to Proteinase K and has an apparent molecular weight of 22 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Specific polynucleotides encoding proteins of this class have been isolated from three Neisseria meningitidis strains and from one Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain. These polynucleotides have been sequenced, and the corresponding full-length amino acid sequences of the encoded polypeptides have been deduced. Recombinant DNA methods for the production of the Neisseria surface protein, and antibodies that bind to this protein are also disclosed.

Abstract:
Fusion proteins comprising an antigen derived from NY-ESO-1 linked to an antigen derived from LAGE-1, which may further comprise carriers, fusion partners, or the like, are provided. Methods for preparing, formulating, and using such fusion proteins are also provided. Such proteins are useful a vaccine components for inducing an immune response against a range of cancer-antigen-bearing cells.
Abstract:
Streptococcus proteins and polynucleotides encoding them are disclosed. Said proteins are antigenic and therefore useful vaccine components for the prophylaxis or therapy of streptococcus infection in animals. Also disclosed are recombinant methods of producing the protein antigens as well as diagnostic assays for detecting streptococcus bacterial infection.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to polypeptides of Moraxella (Branhamela) catarrhalis which may be used for prophy-laxis, diagnostic and/or therapy purposes.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to polypeptides, epitopes and antibodies directed to these epitopes, more particularly to the Sip polypeptide of Group B Streptococcus (GBS), also called Streptococcus agalactiae which may be used to prevent, diagnose and/or treat streptococcal infection.
