Abstract
To ensure maximum cross-strain recognition and reactivity, regions of proteins that are conserved between different Neisserial species, serogroups and strains can be used. The invention provides proteins which comprise stretches of amino acid sequence that are shared across the majority of Neisseria, particularly N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae.
Claims2
An isolated protein fragment comprising the contiguous amino acid sequence QDMAAVS (SEQ ID NO:
- 225), provided that said protein fragment is not full length SEQ ID NOS:119-124.
