Abstract:
1. An isolated nucleic acid molecule consisting of a sequence selected from the group consisting of: (a) a sequence encoding an immunogenic polypeptide having at least 90% sequence identity to the contiguous amino acid sequence shown at positions 1 through 256, inclusive, of SEQ ID NO:2; and (b) a sequence encoding an immunogenic polypeptide having at least 90% sequence identity to the contiguous amino acid sequence shown at positions 1-228, inclusive, of SEQ ID NO:5, wherein any sequence variation between the sequence of (a) and the sequence of amino acids shown at positions 1 through 256 of SEQ ID NO:2 is due to a conservative amino acid substitution, and any sequence variation between the sequence of (b) and the sequence of amino acids shown at positions 1-228 is due to a conservative amino acid substitution.
