NOVEL FIBRONECTIN-BINDING PROTEIN

摘要

The present invention is concerned with a novel fibronectin-binding protein of Streptococcus equi, to a DNA fragment encoding this protein, to host cells and vectors containing said DNA fragment and to methods to produce said protein based on recombinant DNA technology. The invention is also related to use of said protein in the preparation of a vaccine, to a vaccine containing said protein, to antibodies specific for said protein and to polyvalent antisera containing such antibodies.
