Abstract
A fibronectin binding peptide having the structure R'-PSYQFGGHNS VDFEEDT-R.sup.2 wherein R' is hydrogen, K or DK, and R.sup.2 is hydroxy, L, LP or LPK is disclosed. The fibronectin binding proteins of the present invention may be used, for example, for vaccination of ruminants against mastitis caused by Staphylococcal infections, for the treatment of wounds, e.g., for blocking protein receptors or for immunization (vaccination) against infection by bacterial strains, and for diagnosis of bacterial infections caused by Staphylococci strains.
