Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The inventive subject matter relates to an immunogenic composition composed of a chimeric molecule including a conformationally stable adhesin from Escherichia coli fused to a bacterial toxin A subunit, such as cholera toxin A subunit or heat-labile Escherichia coli toxin A subunit. The invention also relates to the adhesin-toxin chimera noncovalently associated with a toxin B subunit of the same or different species as the A subunit. The invention also relates to a method of utilizing an adhesin/toxin fusion composition to elicit an immune response.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An immunogenic composition comprising a purified fusion protein, the fusion protein containing an E. coli minor fimbrial adhesin polypeptide or monomer, wherein the fimbrial adhesin polypeptide or monomer is derived from Class 5 fimbriae or CS3 fimbriae and is operatively connected, directly or via a linker and donor strand polypeptide, to a toxin A subunit polypeptide. 2. The immunogenic composition of claim 1 , wherein the fimbrial ad…
