Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An isolated protein or peptide selected from the group consisting of Bordetella colonization factor A (BcfA) protein and antigenic fragments thereof is described, along with an isolated nucleic acid encoding the same, antibodies that bind to the same, methods of producing an immune response in a mammalian subject in need thereof by administering the proteins, peptides or antibodies, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

That which is claimed is: 1. A method of producing an immune response in a mammalian subject in need thereof, comprising administering to said subject an isolated protein or peptide comprising (i) the Bordetella colonization factor A (BcfA) protein of SEQ ID NO: 2 or (ii) and antigenic fragments thereof comprising 20 or more contiguous amino acids thereof, in an amount effective to produce an immune response. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said protein or peptide is an antigenic fragment of BcfA having the sequence given herein as SEQ ID NO: 3 or an antigenic fragment comprising 20 or more contiguous amino acids thereof. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said administering further comprises an adjuvant. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said administering delivers said BcfA protein or peptide by a mucosal route. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said administering delivers said BcfA protein or peptide by a parenteral route. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said administering delivers said BcfA protein or peptide by a transdermal route. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said administering delivers said effective amount of BcfA protein or peptide in a single dose schedule. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said administering delivers said effective amount of BcfA protein or peptide in a multiple dose schedule. 9. A method of producing an immune response in a mammalian subject in need thereof, comprising administering to said subject an isolated Bordetella colonization factor A (BcfA) peptide comprising an antigenic fragment of 20 or more contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO: 2 in an amount effective to produce an immune response. 10. The method of claim 9 , wherein said administering further comprises an adjuvant. 11. The method of claim 9 , wherein said administering delivers said BcfA peptide antigenic fragment by a mucosal route. 12. The method of claim 9 , wherein said administering delivers said BcfA peptide antigenic fragment by a parenteral route. 13. The method of claim 9 , wherein said administering delivers said BcfA peptide antigenic fragment by a transdermal route. 14. The method of claim 9 , wherein said administering delivers said effective amount of BcfA peptide antigenic fragment in a single dose schedule. 15. The method of claim 9 , wherein said administering delivers said effective amount of BcfA peptide antigenic fragment in a multiple dose schedule.
