SURFACE-LOCATED STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE POLYPEPTIDES FOR USE IN VACCINE COMPOSITIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to cell-surface-located polypeptides of Streptococcus pneumoniae and their use in immunisation against Streptococcal infection, in diagnosis of Streptococcus and in identification of compounds with anti-Streptococcus activity. In a further aspect, the invention relates to antibodies capable of recognising cellsurface-located polypeptides of Streptococcus pneumoniae and uses thereof.
