摘要:
Provided are a recombinant protein for producing a swine Mycoplasma infection-preventing vaccine composition, and a swine Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Mycoplasma hyorhinis infection-preventing vaccine composition including the recombinant protein. When the recombinant proteins for the vaccine production in accordance with the present disclosure are added to the swine Mycoplasma infection-preventing vaccine composition, the immune response to the swine Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and swine Mycoplasma hyorhinis strain and the immune response to the P97 protein are increased. As a result, the present vaccine exhibits a defensive effect superior to an existing commercially available vaccine. Therefore, the recombinant proteins for the vaccine production according to the present disclosure and the vaccine compositions using the recombinant proteins may effectively prevent diseases caused by the Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Mycoplasma hyorhinis infection, especially, swine Mycoplasma-derived pneumonia and swine Mycoplasma-derived arthritis.
摘要:
The present invention aims at providing a specific antibody that can simply and rapidly detect Mycoplasma pneumoniae which is a causative bacterium of mycoplasma pneumonia, with high sensitivity, and also an immunological detection method and a kit containing the same antibody. The present invention makes it possible to diagnose infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae more rapidly and specifically than the conventional method, by producing an antibody recognizing a specific epitope of P30 protein of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and performing an immunological detection using the antibody. Also, the present invention enables easy and rapid detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and diagnosis of infection with the same at a hospital or the like without need of specialized instruments or skilled techniques.

The present invention relates to a complex of polyproteins containing immunogenic regions derived from the P36, P46, HSP, NrdF, P97, MHP271 e P216 antigens of M. hyopneumoniae, which regions are fused with segments of the Rrp4. Rrp41 and Rrp42 carrier proteins of P. abyssi, forming a single complex. The present invention further provide the following objects: (i) a gene coding the polyprotein complex, which complex is based on the exosome of P. abyssi and carries copies of vaccine antigens of M. hyopneumoniae; (ii) an antigenic composition comprising the polyprotein complex of the invention, optionally one or more auxiliary agents and/or additives and a pharmacologically acceptable excipient; (iii) a method for producing said polyprotein complex; and (iv) uses of said complex and composition in the treatment and prevention of disease caused by M. hyopneumoniae infection.
摘要:
Provided in the present invention are anti-Mycoplasma spp. subunit vaccines, especially proteins suitable for being used as the active ingredient of the Mycoplasma spp. subunit vaccines, and a vaccine prepared therefrom. Upon experimenting, it is confirmed that the proteins can elicit an immune response having sufficient strength to avoid the infection of Mycoplasma spp. in pigs. The vaccine can comprise one of the aforementioned proteins as an active ingredient, or can comprise two or more of the proteins to form a form of cocktail vaccine. The vaccine of the present invention is not only more safe than conventional vaccines, but also has equivalent or even better immune effects.

摘要:
The present invention relates, e.g., to a minimal set of protein-coding genes which provides the information required for replication of a free-living organism in a rich bacterial culture medium, wherein (1) the gene set does not comprise the 100 genes listed in Table 2; and/or wherein (2) the gene set comprises the 382 protein-coding genes listed in Table 3 and, optionally, one of more of: a set of three genes encoding ABC transporters for phosphate import (genes MG410, MG411 and MG412; or genes MG289, MG290 and MG291); the lipoprotein-encoding gene MG185 or MG260; and/or the glycerophosphoryl diester phosphodiesterase gene MG293 or MG385.
摘要:
Provided herein methods of alleviating the symptoms of multiple myeloma in a patient or subject in need thereof, methods of treating multiple myeloma in a patient or subject, and methods of preventing development of multiple myeloma in a patient at risk thereof, such as a patient with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), which methods include administering an agent effective to treat a Mycoplasma infection. The invention also relates to a new class of antigen, MG281 protein {also referenced as Protein M), that binds to various immunoglobulins with high affinity, and their uses in purifying immunoglobulins. The invention additionally relates to using MG281 protein and analog or derivative molecules for treating autoimmune diseases. Further provided are antigens and antibodies for use in the disclosed methods, and the identification of molecules that bind to MG281 protein.

摘要:
A method and system are disclosed for identifying and/or locating complex patterns in an amino acid sequence stored in a computer file or database. According to an aspect of the present invention, techniques are provided to facilitate queries of protein databases. For protein descriptions received in response to the queries, embodiments of the present invention may scan the received protein descriptions to identify and locate Replikin patterns. A Replikin pattern is defined to be a sequence of 7 to about 50 amino acids that include the following three (3) characteristics, each of which may be recognized by an embodiment of the present invention: (1) the sequence has at least one lysine residue located six to ten amino acid residues from a second lysine residue; (2) the sequence has at least one histidine residue; and (3) at least 6% of the amino acids in the sequence are lysine residues.
