Abstract:
A recombinant FlaC protein of a strain of Campylobacter producible by a transformed host cell containing an expression vector adapted for transformation of the host cell comprising a nucleic acid molecule which is selected from the group consisting of:(a) the entire nucleotide sequence set out in FIG. 1 (SEQ ID No: 1), or the complementary sequence of said sequence; (b) the coding nucleotide sequence set out in FIG. 1 (SEQ ID No: 2), or the complementary sequence of said sequence; (c) a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence set out in FIG. 1 (SEQ ID No: 3); and (d) a nucleotide sequence encoding a flagellin protein C (FlaC) of a flagellin of a strain of Campylobacter and which has at least about 90% sequence identity with any one of the nucleotide sequences defined in (a), (b) or (c), and expression means operatively coupled to the nucleic acid molecule for expression by the host cell of the FlaC protein of a strain of Campylobacter.
