RECOMBINANT DNA MOLECULES ENCODING AMINOPEPTIDASE ENZYMES AND THEIR USE IN THE PREPARATION OF VACCINES AGAINST HELMINTH INFECTIONS

摘要

The present invention provides nucleic acid molecules containing nucleotide sequences encoding helminth aminopeptidase enzymes, and antigenic fragments and functionally-equivalent variants thereof, their use in the preparation of vaccines for use against helminth parasites, and synthetic polypeptides encoded by them.
