摘要 |
Von Willebrand factor binding proteins and polypeptides from Staphylococci are disclosed. Further, recombinant DNA molecules coding for said proteins and peptides, plasmids, phages and phagemids comprising the DNA molecules, and microorganisms and microorganisms comprising the recombinant DNA molecules or the plasmids, phages and phagemids are described. Additionally, a method of producing von Willebrand factor binding protein or polypeptide, a method of blocking the adherence of a Staphylococcus to surfaces, immobilized proteins, antigodies, immunogens, purifications methods and determination of the presence of von Willebrand factor in a complex solution, are disclosed. |
