ABSTRACT:
A heat shock protein of Streptococcus pneumoniae named HSP72 and immunologically related polypeptides, the nucleotide and derived amino acid sequences of HSP72 (SEQ ID NO:4; SEQ ID NO:5), antibodies that bind to HSP72, and recombinant DNA methods for the production of HSP72 and immunologically related polypeptides. The polypeptides, DNA sequences and antibodies of this invention provide new means for the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of disease.
