Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is directed to a polypeptide which comprises: (i) an Rv2386c protein sequence; (ii) a variant of an Rv2386c protein sequence; of (iii) an immunogenic fragment of an Rv2386c protein sequence. In other aspects the invention is directed to associated polynucleotides, fusion proteins and methods for the treatment or prevention of tuberculosis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A sterile pharmaceutical composition comprising a polypeptide which comprises: (i) an Rv2386c protein comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 1 and 6; or (ii) an Rv2386c protein comprising an amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 1 and 6; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. 2. An immunogenic composition comprising a polypeptide which comprises: (i) an Rv2386c protein comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 1 and 6; or (ii) an Rv2386c protein comprising an amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 1 and 6; and a non-specific immune response enhancer. 3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1. 4. The immunogenic composition according to claim 2 , wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:1. 5. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: 6. 6. The immunogenic composition according to claim 2 , wherein the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:6.
