Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to compositions including an isolated non-pyruvylated non-lipidated ORF2086 polypeptide, and methods thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, the compositions described herein are immunogenic. The present invention further relates to compositions that elicit a bactericidal immune response in a mammal against an ORF2086 subfamily B polypeptide from serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis , and methods related thereto.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An immunogenic composition comprising an immunologically effective amount of a first non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 50, wherein the first non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide lacks cysteine at the N-terminus of SEQ ID NO: 50 and does not exhibit a mass shift of +70 Da compared to the corresponding wild-type non-lipidated polypeptide as measured by mass spectrometry. 2. The immunogenic composition of claim 1 , further comprising an immunologically effective amount of a second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 44, wherein the second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide lacks cysteine at the N-terminus of SEQ ID NO: 44 and does not exhibit a mass shift of +70 Da compared to the corresponding wild-type non-lipidated polypeptide as measured by mass spectrometry. 3. The immunogenic composition of claim 2 , wherein the first non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide is encoded by a nucleotide sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 45. 4. The immunogenic composition of claim 1 , further comprising an immunologically effective amount of a non-lipidated N. meningitidis , serogroup B, 2086 Subfamily A polypeptide. 5. The immunogenic composition of claim 4 , wherein the Subfamily A polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 55. 6. The immunogenic composition of claim 1 , further comprising an immunologically effective amount of a second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 57, wherein the second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide lacks cysteine at the N-terminus of SEQ ID NO: 57 and does not exhibit a mass shift of +70 Da compared to the corresponding wild-type non-lipidated polypeptide as measured by mass spectrometry. 7. The immunogenic composition of claim 1 , further comprising an immunologically effective amount of a second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 58, wherein the second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide lacks cysteine at the N-terminus of SEQ ID NO: 58 and does not exhibit a mass shift of +70 Da compared to the corresponding wild-type non-lipidated polypeptide as measured by mass spectrometry. 8. The immunogenic composition of claim 1 , further comprising an immunologically effective amount of a second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 59, wherein the second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide lacks cysteine at the N-terminus of SEQ ID NO: 59 and does not exhibit a mass shift of +70 Da compared to the corresponding wild-type non-lipidated polypeptide as measured by mass spectrometry. 9. The immunogenic composition of claim 1 , further comprising an immunologically effective amount of a second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 60, wherein the second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide lacks cysteine at the N-terminus of SEQ ID NO: 60 and does not exhibit a mass shift of +70 Da compared to the corresponding wild-type non-lipidated polypeptide as measured by mass spectrometry. 10. The immunogenic composition of claim 1 , further comprising an immunologically effective amount of a second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 62, wherein the second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide lacks cysteine at the N-terminus of SEQ ID NO: 62 and does not exhibit a mass shift of +70 Da compared to the corresponding wild-type non-lipidated polypeptide as measured by mass spectrometry. 11. The immunogenic composition of claim 1 , further comprising an immunologically effective amount of a second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 64, wherein the second non-pyruvylated non-lipidated polypeptide lacks cysteine at the N-terminus of SEQ ID NO: 64 and does not exhibit a mass shift of +70 Da compared to the corresponding wild-type non-lipidated polypeptide as measured by mass spectrometry.
