BACTERIAL VACCINE

摘要

The present invention concerns peptide mimeotopes of carbohydrates found on the cell surface of capsular bacteria and also smooth gram negative bacterium with lipopolysaccharide on the cell- surface. The peptides may be used as vaccines against bacterial infections such as meningitis, septicaemia or pneumonia. The invention also concerns nucleic acids encoding such peptide that may be used in DNA vaccines against such bacteria.
