RECOMBINANT DNA MOLECULES ENCODE THE AMINOPEPTIDASE ENZYME AND THEIR APPLICATION FOR THE PRODUCTION OF VACCINES AGAINST HELMINTH INFECTIONS

摘要

The present invention provides nucleic acid molecules containing nucleotide sequences encoding helminth aminopeptidase enzymes, and antigenic fragments and functionally-equivalent variants thereof, their use in the preparation of vaccines, for use against helminth parasites, and synthetic polypetides encoded by them.
