NOVEL METHOD FOR TREATING H.PYLORI INFECTIONS

摘要

The present invention is related to a polypeptide comprising an amino aci d sequence, whereby the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide is at least 8 0 % identical to a stretch of consecutive amino acids of the region of HPGGT comprising an amino acid sequence corresponding to SEQ. ID.No. 1, whereby s uch region is defined by (a) amino acid positions 150 to 200 of the amino ac id sequence according to SEQ.ID.No.l, or (b) amino acid positions 410 to 480 of the amino acid sequence according to SEQ.ID.No.l, and whereby the polype ptide is suitable to elicit an immune response which is capable of inhibitin g the catalytic activity of HPGGT.
