Abstract:
The 80-kDa D15 antigen (D-15-Ag) has previously been shown to be a target for protective immunity and conserved amongst typeable and nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae. Here, the gene encoding D-15-Ag is shown to encode a 797-aa polypeptide which, after cleavage of the predicted signal peptide, would have a molecular mass of 85,632 Da.
