Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention encompasses vaccines or compositions comprising the chimeric KSAC protein that possesses immunogenic and protective properties, and methods of use including administering to an animal the antigenic KSAC protein thereof to protect animals. The invention also encompasses methods for making and producing the soluble, disaggregated, refolded or active proteins from inclusion bodies produced from prokaryotes or eukaryotes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What we claim is: 1. A composition comprising (i) a refolded and solubilized fusion protein and (ii) dithiothreitol (DTT), wherein the fusion protein consists of leishmania antigens Kinetoplastid Membrane Protein 11 (KMP11), Sterol MethylTransferase (SMT), A2 and Cysteine Proteinase (CP), and wherein the fusion protein comprises the sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:2. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the fusion protein was encoded by a polynucleotide having the sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the fusion protein was refolded under a pressure from about 1000 bar to about 5000 bar. 4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the fusion protein was refolded under the pressure for at least 20 hours. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the fusion protein was solubilized from Escherichia coli inclusion bodies. 6. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the E. coli inclusion bodies were prepared in a buffer comprising no or low urea. 7. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the E. coli inclusion bodies were prepared in a buffer comprising DTT. 8. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the E. coli inclusion bodies were treated under high pressure for about 20 hours to about 100 hours. 9. The composition of claim 8 , wherein the E. coli inclusion bodies were depressurized at a rate of about 83 bar/hr-125 bar/hr. 10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the fusion protein was refolded under a high pressure that was increased in a stepwise process.
