PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION CONTAINING THE NMB0606 PROTEIN

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of medicine, particularly to the development of a pharmaceutical composition containing the NMB0606 protein. The composition of the present invention confers protection against different diseases that may or may not be caused by pathogens. The NMB0606 protein was identified as a component of Neisseria meningitidis outer membrane vesicle (OMV) preparations and was obtained using recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology and its immunogenicity and protective activity was evaluated in animal models. Owing to the high degree of conservation of the gene coding for the NMB0606 protein, the composition comprising it is of great value as an antigen that induces a widely reactive immune response. The composition of this invention is applicable to human medicine.
