Proteins, in particular membrane proteins, of Helicobacter pylori, their preparation and use

摘要

The present invention relates to novel proteins, in particular membrane proteins or proteins which are firmly associated with the membrane, which are derived from Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and which contain the peptide sequence SEQ ID NO:37 according to Tables 1a-1c, or to parts or homologues thereof having a minimum length of ten amino acids, and to their preparation and use as pharmaceutical compositions, in particular as vaccines, or as a diagnostic agent. Based on these data, the gene coding for this protein was also isolated as shown in SEQ ID NO: 36.
