Polypeptides for inducing a protective immune response against staphylococcus aureus

摘要

The present invention features hybrid polypeptides providing ORF0657n and ORFO190 epitopes, nucleic acid encoding for the different polypeptides, and a method for evaluating the ability of an immunogen to produce a protective immune response against Staphylococcus infection. ORF0657n and ORF0190 are both S. aureus proteins.
