Classification: A61K,C07H

Abstract:
An immunogenic composition, comprising:a first plasmid vector comprising: a first nucleotide sequence encoding a major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of a strain of Chlamydia pneumoniae, said first nucleotide sequence being selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID Nos: 12, 13, and 14 or encoding a MOMP having an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID Nos: 15 and 16, and a first promoter sequence operatively coupled to said first nucleotide sequence for expression of said MOMP in a host; a second plasmid vector comprising: a second nucleotide sequence encoding a 76 kDa protein of a strain of Chlamydia pneumoniae, said second nucleotide sequence being selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID Nos: 1, 2, 3 and 4, and a second promoter sequence operatively coupled to said second nucleotide sequence for expression of said 76 kDa protein in a host; and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier therefor.
