CA 2408344

Compounds and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of Ehrlichia infection, in particular human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, are disclosed. The compounds provided include polypeptides that contain at least one antigenic portion of an Ehrlichia antigen and DNA sequences encoding such polypeptides. Pharmaceutical compositions and vaccines comprising such polypeptides or DNA sequences are also provided. Diagnostic kits containing such polypeptides or DNA sequences and a suitable detection reagent may be used for the detection of Ehrlichia infection in patients and biological samples. Antibodies directed against such polypeptides are also provided.

L'invention porte sur des composés et sur des procédés de diagnostic et de traitement de l'infection par une <i>Ehrlichia</i>, notamment l'ehrlichiose granulocytique humaine. Les composés comprennent des polypeptides qui contiennent au moins une partie antigénique d'un antigène <i>Ehrlichia</i> et des séquences d'ADN codant ces polypeptides. L'invention porte également sur des compositions pharmaceutiques et des vaccins comprenant ces polypeptides ou ces séquences d'ADN. Des kits de diagnostic contenant ces polypeptides ou ces séquences d'ADN et un réactif de détection approprié peuvent être utilisés dans la détection de l'infection par une <i>Ehrlichia</i> chez des patients et dans des échantillons biologiques. Des anticorps dirigés contre ces polypeptides sont également décrits.
