<p>The present invention relates to a cell surface protein having an ability of binding fibronectin, fibrinogen, collagen, and/or laminin, which protein is obtained by cultivating one or more bacterial strains having fibronectin, fibrinogen, collagen, and/or laminin binding properties on a suitable medium, isolation of such a strain, washing, decomposing of the strain, and purification of fibronectin, fibrinogen, collagen, and/or laminin binding component. The invention also refers to the production of the cell surface protein, the use thereof for prophylactic purposes, and prophylactic treatment of men and animals. A preferred embodiment is hereby prophylactic treatment of ruminants against mastitis.</p> |
