PREPARATION OF PROTECTIVE ANTIGEN FROM BACILLUS ANTHRACIS

摘要

a nucleic acid sequence having at least 75 % identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein said nucleic acid sequence encodes recombinant Bacillus anthracis Protective Antigen (rPA); or a fragment of said nucleic acid sequence wherein said fragment encodes a fragment of recombinant Bacillus anthracis Protective Antigen (rPA). Also provided are expression vectors and host cells comprising the polynucleotide sequence of the invention, and methods for producing rPA or a fragment thereof. The invention further provides antigenic compositions and. corresponding methods and uses for inducing an immune response.
