POLYPEPTIDES FOR INDUCING A PROTECTIVE IMMUNE RESPONSE AGAINST STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS

摘要

Disclosed are polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence structurally related to SEQ ID NO 1 and uses of such polypeptides and compositions thereof. SEQ ID NO 1 is a full length S. aureus sequence. A derivative of SEQ ID NO 1 containing an amino terminal his-tag was found to produce a protective immune response against S. aureus.
