NEISSERIA SPP. POLYPEPTIDE, NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCE AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The invention discloses the Neisseria spp. NGSP polypeptide, polypeptides derived therefrom (NGSP-derived polypeptides), nucleotide sequences encoding said polypeptides, and antibodies that specifically bind the NGSP polypeptide and/or NGSP-derived polypeptides. Also disclosed are prophylactic or therapeutic compositions, including antigenic, preferably immunogenic compositions, e.g., vaccines, comprising NGSP polypeptide and/or a NGSP-derived polypeptide or antibodies thereto. The invention additionnally discloses methods of inducing an immune response to Neisseria and Neisseria NGSP polypeptide and an NGSP-derived polypeptide in animals.
