| 摘要 |
A synthetic peptide capable of producing an immunological response to (C. trachomatis) in a vertebrate is disclosed. The synthetic peptide comprises at least one conserved T-helper cell stimulating epitope located within the peptide sequence ALNIWDRFDVFCTLGATTGYLKGNS and at least one B-cell neutralizing antibody stimulating epitope located within the peptide sequence FDVTTLNPTIAGAGDVK. In a preferred embodiment, the epitopes are colinear and in a particularly preferred embodiment the T-helper cell stimulating epitope is located closer to the N-terminus of the peptide than the B-cell neutralizing antibody stimulating epitope. |
