<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide new protein antigens from Streptococcus pneumoniae, to provide nucleic acid sequences encoding them, to provide vaccines, and to provide screening methods. <P>SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a protein from Streptococcus pneumoniae and having a specific sequence, to a nucleic acid molecule encoding the protein, to the uses of the nucleic acid molecule and/or the protein as antigens and/or immunogens and the uses of the nucleic acid molecule and/or the protein for detection/diagnosis, and to the screening of the protein/nucleic acid sequence as a latent antimicrobial target. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
