Abstract
The present invention provides compositions including at least two siderophore receptor polypeptides and at least two porins from a gram negative microbe, and preferably, lipopolysaccharide at a concentration of no greater than about 10.0 endotoxin units per milliliter. The present invention also provides methods of makino and methods of using such compositions.
Claims19
A composition comprising:
- at least two siderophore receptor polypeptides (SRPs) isolated from a gram negative microbe;
- at least two porins isolated from the gram negative microbe;
- and
- lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at a concentration of no greater than about 10.0 endotoxin units per milliliter (EU/ml).
1 more element
A first composition comprising:
- at least two siderophore receptor polypeptides (SRPs) isolated from a gram negative microbe;
- at least two porins isolated from the gram negative microbe;
- and
- lipopolysaccharide (LPS), wherein the concentration of LPS is no greater than the concentration of LPS in a second composition comprising:
- the at least two siderophore receptor polypeptides isolated from the gram negative microbe;
- the at least two porins isolated from the gram negative microbe;
- and
- lipopolysaccharide;
- wherein the second composition is produced by a process comprising:
- providing the gram negative microbe;
- disrupting the gram negative microbe in a buffer;
- solubilizing the disrupted gram negative microbe for greater than about 24 hours in a solution comprising sarcosine to result in solubilized and insoluble cellular material, wherein a ratio of the sarcosine to gram weight of disrupted gram negative microbe is between about 0.8 gram sarcosine per about 4.5 grams of disrupted gram negative microbe and about 1.2 grams sarcosine per about 4.5 grams of disrupted gram negative microbe;
- and
- isolating molecules of the gram negative microbe, wherein the isolated molecules comprise the at least two SRPs, the at least two porins, and LPS.
