Abstract: Tripartite recombinant DNA encoding fusion proteins which comprise three sequences, i.e., a signal peptide which is operable in a Gram positive bacterium, an immunogenic polypeptide linked thereto which is not normally expressed in a Gram positive bacterium, and a cell wall spanning and a membrane anchoring sequence, as well as their use in Gram positive bacteria to express the resultant fusion protein on their surface are described. The preferred cell wall spanning and anchoring polypeptides include Staphylococcus protein A and Streptococcus protein G.

Abstract: A vehicle having a safety belt mechanism includes a stabilizer for stabilizing a female buckle and its associated unstable belt. The stabilizer includes a recess for receiving portions of the female buckle and belt for stabilizing those portions and positioning the female buckle to face upwardly away from the seat. The stabilizer may comprise a single rigid element having a slit communicating with the recess for enabling the belt to be slid into the recess. Alternatively, the stabilizer may comprise halves that are interconnected about a pivot axis so as to swing together in order to capture the female buckle therebetween.
