Abstract:
A complex comprising an immunogen derived from the RSV surface glycoprotein G covalently coupled to a support molecule, wherein said support molecule is a polypeptide fragment derived from the G protein of streptococcus which binds specifically to mammalian serum albumin and said immunogen is selected from the group consisting of:a) an amino acid sequence the same as the sequence encoded by a nucleic acid selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 23, SEQ ID NO: 24, SEQ ID NO: 25, SEQ ID NO: 26, SEQ ID NO: 27 and SEQ ID NO: 29; and b) the sequence encompassed between amino acids 130 and 230, inclusive of the G protein of human or bovine RSV subgroups A or B, or a sequence which is at least about 80% identical with said G protein amino acids 130-230.
