Protective activity of Streptococcus pneumoniae Spr1875 protein fragments identified using a phage displayed genomic library.

Protective activity of Streptococcus pneumoniae Spr1875 protein fragments identified using a phage displayed genomic library.

There is considerable interest in pneumococcal protein antigens capable of inducing serotype-independent immunoprotection and of improving, thereby, existing vaccines. We report here on the immunogenic properties of a novel surface antigen encoded by ORF spr1875 in the R6 strain genome. An antigenic...
