Abstract: |
This invention presents antigenic preparations of Leptospira species outer membrane proteins and their immunogenic fragments which are useful for inducing immune response in animals, e.g., for use as vaccines against diseases caused by leptospirosis. Also presented are methods and kits for diagnosing leptospirosis by detecting the presence of these proteins, their immunogenic fragments, antibodies to these proteins or their fragments, or polynucleotides which encode or are translatable into these proteins or their fragments. Further disclosed are methods for isolating these proteins.

I claim:
1. A method of inducing an immune response to a pathogenic spirochete in a subject comprising administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition containing an immunogenically effective amount of isolated leptospiral outer membrane proteins having molecular masses, as indicated by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, selected from the group consisting of about 70-, about 74-, about 93-, about 101- and about 127-kDa.
