CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI PEPTIDE FOR VACCINE DEVELOPMENT

摘要

Immunogenic compositions directed against C. jejuni, particularly hypervirulent strains thereof that are able to translocate the intestinal tract and cause systemic infection and abortion, are provided. Applicants have identified a novel major outer membrane protein and particularly a peptide portion thereof that is indicative of the recent hypervirulent strains and may be used in vaccine protocols and immunogenic and diagnostic compositions.
