  • Nucleic acids encoding protective epitopes of adenyl cyclase-haemolysin (AC-Hly)
    Patent number: 7902349
    Abstract: Purified nucleic acids comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an immunogenic polypeptide of adenyl cyclase-haemolysin (AC-Hly), which induces formation of protective antibodies against an infection by a bacteria selected from the group consisting of B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica when the nucleic acid or polypeptide is administered to a human or animal host. The nucleic acids are useful, for example, to induce a protective immune response in a host against infection by a bacteria selected from the group consisting of B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 11, 2005
    Date of Patent: March 8, 2011
    Assignee: Institut Pasteur
    Inventors: Fotini Betsou, Peter Sebo, Nicole Guiso

  • Protective epitopes of adenyl cyclase-haemolysin (AC-Hly), their application to the treatment or to the prevention of bordetella infections
    Patent number: 6994854
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is amino acid sequences of the AC-Hly from B. pertussis, B. parapertussis and/or B. bronchiseptica, carrying epitopes capable of inducing a protective immune response against infection by Bordetella. The subject of the invention is antibodies, especially monoclonal antibodies, directed against these epitopes.
