The Transferrin Binding Protein B of Moraxella catarrhalis Elicits Bactericidal Antibodies and Is a Potential Vaccine Antigen
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
The transferrin binding protein genes (tbpA and tbpB) from two strains of Moraxella catarrhalis have been cloned and sequenced. The genomic organization of the M. catarrhalis transferrin binding protein genes is unique among known bacteria in that tbpA precedes tbpB and there is a third gene located between them. The deduced sequences of the M. catarrhalis TbpA proteins from two strains were 98% identical, while...
