Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides proteins from group B streptococcus (Streptococcus agalactiae) and group A streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes), including amino acid sequences and the corresponding nucleotide sequences. Data are given to show that the proteins are useful antigens for vaccines, immunogenic compositions, and/or diagnostics. The proteins are also targets for antibiotics.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A fusion polypeptide consisting of (i) a polypeptide which has at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 4212 and (ii) a heterologous sequence. 2. The fusion polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide of (i) consists a sequence which has at least 99% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 4212. 3. The fusion polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide of (i) consists of the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4212. 4. The fusion polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the heterologous sequence of the fusion polypeptide comprises a histidine tag, a glutathione S-transferase (GST) tag, a signal sequence, or a leader sequence. 5. A composition comprising (a) a fusion polypeptide of claim 1 , and (b) a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle.
