ANTIGENS PROTECTIVE AGAINST ECHINOCOCCUS GRANULOSUS INFECTION AND VACCINES CONTAINING SUCH ANTIGENS

This invention relates to antigenic polypeptides or peptide fragments or variants thereof suitable for use in vaccines to protect hosts susceptible to infection by Echinococcus or Taeniid parasites, particularly infection by E. granulosus. The antigens are preferably obtained by expression of DNA co...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This invention relates to antigenic polypeptides or peptide fragments or variants thereof suitable for use in vaccines to protect hosts susceptible to infection by Echinococcus or Taeniid parasites, particularly infection by E. granulosus. The antigens are preferably obtained by expression of DNA coding therefor in a recombinant host cell. The antigenic polypeptide of the invention includes the amino acid sequence of Figure 4.
