Publication number: 20090068229Abstract: Novel proteins that constitute modified forms of a Neisseria meningitidis surface antigen and encoding nucleic acids are provided. The modified surface proteins are characterized by having deletions of non-conserved amino acids, and thereby being capable of eliciting cross-protective immune responses against Neisseria meningitidis. The invention extends to the use of the modified surface antigens in diagnostics, in therapeutic and prophylactic vaccines and in the design and/or screening of medicaments. The modified surface antigens are particularly useful in vaccines which effectively immunize against a broader spectrum of N. meningitidis strains than would be expected from a corresponding wild-type surface antigen.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2007Publication date: March 12, 2009Applicant: THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLANDInventors: Ian Richard Anselm Peak, Michael Paul Jennings

Publication number: 20030224009Abstract: An inducible expression system is provided that includes an inducible ansB promoter co-dependently regulatable by cyclic AMP and anaerobiosis. The expression system is particularly suited to chromosomal expression of immunogenic proteins in attenuated bacterial vaccines. Protein expression from an E. coli-derived ansB promoter is particularly effective in a Salmonella host bacterium.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2003Publication date: December 4, 2003Applicant: The University of QueenslandInventors: Tamsin Deborah Terry, Michael Paul Jennings

Publication number: 20030219454Abstract: Haemagglutinin polypeptides and encoding nucleic acids are isolated from eleven strains of Haemophilus paragallinarum. The haemagglutinin polypeptides are useful in vaccines for immunization against infectious coryza in chickens, as are the encoding nucleic acids when expressed in attenuated bacteria. Also provided are methods of use of the haemagglutinin polypeptides and nucleic acids for detection and diagnosis of, and immunization against, infectious coryza in chickens.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2003Publication date: November 27, 2003Inventors: Tamsin Deborah Terry, Hsing-Ju Tseng, Rhonda Ivy Hobb, Michael Paul Jennings, John Downes
