Monodisperse and Modified Yersinia 

pestis Capsular F1–V Antigen Fusion 

Proteins for Vaccination Against 

Bubonic and Pneumonic Plague 

Description of Technology: An 

effective plague vaccine against Yersinia 

pestis is currently unavailable in the 

U.S. The F1–V (fusion of two Y. pestis 

proteins, the Fraction 1 capsular antigen 

and a second immunogen called the Vantigen) vaccine of this invention is a 

monodispersed, mutated form of F1–V 

fusion protein. This is a promising 

candidate for commercialization. 

Features and benefits include: 

• The vaccine is substantially 

monomeric but does not tend to selfassociate and form aggregates. 

• The antigen fusion proteins retain 

immunogenicity. 

• The associated, new manufacturing 

process provides an inexpensive means 

of making an effective vaccine. 

• The method eliminates the need for 

mixing components that is the case with 

competitive technology. 

Applications: 

• An effective vaccine is needed 

where plague is endemic. 

• An important biodefense 

countermeasure against dissemination 

of weaponized plague is sought. 

Inventors: David F. Nellis and Steven 

L. Giardina (NIAID).

monomeric and modified Yersinia 

pestis capsular F1–V antigen fusion

Patent Status: U.S. Patent Application 

No. 11/944,230 filed 21 Nov 2008 (HHS 

Reference No. E–189–2007/0–US–01). 

Development Status: The technology 

is in pre-clinical stage of development. 

Licensing Status: Available for nonexclusive or exclusive licensing.

Collaborative Research Opportunity: 

The NIAID is seeking statements of 

capability or interest from parties 

interested in collaborative research to 

further develop, evaluate, or 

commercialize this plague vaccine.
