  • polypeptides and methods of use
    Patent number: 8911743
    Abstract: The present invention provides isolated polypeptides having oligopeptide permease activity and an amino acid sequence that has at least 80% identity with a Haemophilus parasuis OppA polypeptide. Also provided by the present invention are isolated polynucleotides that encode the polypeptides described herein, and antibody that specifically binds a polypeptide described herein. The present invention further provides genetically modified microbes, such as attenuated Haemophilus parasuis strains and other microbes that express polypeptides described herein. Also included are methods for using the polypeptides, polynucleotides, antibody, and genetically modified microbes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 4, 2010
    Date of Patent: December 16, 2014
    Assignee: Regents of the University of Minnesota
    Inventor: Simone Oliveira

  • Polynucleotides of and its use
    Patent number: 8350018
    Abstract: The present invention relates to Haemophilus parasuis polynucleotides produced by recombinant technology. It also relates to polypeptides that are expressed by said polynucleotides and also to a vaccine against H. parasuis that comprises said polypeptides. In another aspect, the invention also relates to the use of polynucleotides to determine if a strain of H. parasuis is virulent or avirulent.
