  • Patent number: 6258359
    Abstract: There is provided an immunogenic composition capable of inducing protective antibodies against Helicobacter infection characterized in that it comprises: i) at least one sub-unit of a urease structural polypeptide from Helicobacter pylori (SEQ ID NO: 22,26), or a fragment thereof, said fragment being recognized by antibodies reacting with Helicobacter felis urease (SEQ ID NO: 20-21), and/or at least one sub-unit of a urease structural polypeptide from Helicobacter felis (SEQ ID NO: 20-21), or a fragment thereof, said fragment being recognized by antibodies reacting with Helicobacter pylori urease (SEQ ID NO: 22-26); ii) and/or, a heat shock protein (Hsp), or chaperonin, from Helicobacter, or a fragment of said protein. The preparation, by recombinant means, of such immunogenic compositions is also provided.
