To elucidate potential vaccine antigens,Moraxella catarrhalisouter membrane proteins (OMPs) were studied. We have previously shown an OMP to be a target for human IgG and have now further characterised this OMP which appears to have a molecular mass of 84 kDa and to be distinct from the 81-kDa OMP, CopB. Human transferrin was shown to bind the 84-kDa OMP alone. N-terminal sequencing of this OMP and purifiedM. catarrhalistransferrin binding protein B (TbpB) revealed homology both with each other and with the TbpB ofHaemophilus influenzaeandNeisseria meningitidis. Adsorption of human anti-serum with purified TbpB from twoM. catarrhalisstrains abolished or reduced binding of IgG to the 84-kDa OMP from threeM. catarrhalisisolates. IgG binding to CopB was unaffected. It is clear that the 84-kDa OMP is distinct from CopB and is a likely homologue of TbpB.
