HYBRID PEPTIDE, SET OF HYBRID PEPTIDES, COMPOSITION, USES OF THE HYBRID PEPTIDE, METHOD FOR INDUCING AN IMMUNE RESPONSE AND KITS

摘要

The present invention relates to novel hybrid peptides developed from the combination of membrane surface protein peptide fragments present in anaplasmosis microorganisms, and in particular, bacteria of the species Anaplasma marginale. The present invention further relates to hybrid peptide sets, compositions and kits comprising such novel hybrid peptides, their uses and methods of inducing immune response. Each hybrid peptide, according to the present invention, comprises two or more peptide fragments of amino acid sequences as defined in the present invention linked together by means of a spacer element. The combined peptide fragments are protein peptide fragments of MSP1, MSP1a, MSP1b, MSP2, MSP2-HRV, MSP3, OMP7, OMP8, VirB9 and VirB10.
