Abstract
A protein isolated from Staphylococcus epidermidis having an approximate MW of 52 kD determined by SDS-PAGE and an N-terminal amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO:1), and antigenic determinant-containing fragments of the protein, optionally coupled to an inert carrier or matrix, are disclosed. Disclosed are also a recombinant DNA molecule coding for the protein or the protein fragments; a vector comprising the DNA molecule or the corresponding RNA molecule; antibodies or antigen-binding peptides recognizing and specifically binding to the protein or protein fragment; use of the protein or protein fragment, or the vector, for the production of vaccines against Staphylococcal infections; use of the antibodies or antigen-binding peptides for the production of a medicament for passive immunization; a vaccine against Staphylococcal infections comprising the protein or protein fragment, or the vector, a medicament for passive immunization comprising the antibodies or antigen-binding peptides; and a method of prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
