Abstract:
A purified and isolated nucleic acid molecule having a sequence selected from the group consisting of:(a) a DNA sequence as set out in FIG. 6 (SEQ ID No: 2), or the complementary sequence thereto; (b) a DNA sequence encoding an about 200 kDa protein of a strain of Moraxella catarrhalis and containing the amino acid sequence NH2-Asn-Val-Lys-Ser-Val-Ile-Asn-Lys-Glu-Gln-Val-Asn-Asp-Ala-Asn-Lys-Lys-Gln-Gly-Ile (SEQ ID No: 8), or the complementary sequence thereto; (c) a DNA sequence encoding a deduced amino acid sequence as set out in FIG. 6 (SEQ ID No: 3), or the complementary sequence to the DNA sequence; and (d) a nucleotide sequence encoding an about 200 kDa protein of a strain of Moraxella catarrhalis and which hybridizes under stringent conditions to any one of the sequences defined in (a), (b) or (c).
