Abstract: Immunogenic compositions directed against C. jejuni, particularly hypervirulent strains thereof that are able to translocate the intestinal tract and cause systemic infection and abortion, are provided. Applicants have identified a novel major outer membrane protein and particularly a peptide portion thereof that is indicative of the recent hypervirulent strains and may be used in vaccine protocols and immunogenic and diagnostic compositions.

Abstract: A game apparatus includes a board and a set of blocks. The blocks are divided into four groups with an equal number of blocks in each group. Each block has upon it some marking that identifies to which of the groups it belongs. Also, each block has indicia thereon that designates its priority within the group. The board has a central portion that is divided into a plurality of spaces, there being one space on the board for each block of the set. The board further has notches formed along its edge to hold the blocks of each player during the course of the game.
