Abstract excerpt
The major outer membrane protein (OmpP2) of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) has been shown to vary markedly with respect to both size and the presence of specific surface-exposed epitopes among strains of this unencapsulated pathogen. In contrast, the OmpP2 proteins of H. influenzae type b (Hib) strains are well conserved at the level of primary protein structure and have in common several...
