VACCIN ELLER DIAGNOSTISK PRODUKT ERHAOLLEN FRAON PEPTID, SAMT DAERI ANVAENDBAR POLYPEPTID.

摘要

The invention describes a polypeptide that is smaller than a naturally occurring gonococcal pilus protein but is capable of immunologically simulating a preserved antigen determinant position within a varying area in the carboxy terminal half of a gonococcal pilus protein, as well as vaccines, innocula, immunization methods and diagnostic tests using such a polypeptide, as well as antibodies produced by means of the polypeptides.
