The present invention provides a fusion protein comprising an HPV cancer-causing protein segment, a coding sequence thereof and an application thereof in preparing drugs for detecting or treating HPV-related diseases. The fusion protein can simultaneously induce the humoral immunity and the cellular immunity for a high-risk HPV cancer protein and has anti-cancer activity in vivo.

The present disclosure provides methods of detecting mycobacterium in an individual, generally involving detecting antibody to a mycobacterial lipid in a biological sample obtained from the individual. The present disclosure further provides compositions and kits for carrying out the methods.

The present invention is directed to novel polynucleotides, polypeptides, and polyproteins of Mycoplasma surface proteins, all of which are useful in detecting infection and for the preparation of vaccines for treating and preventing diseases in swine and other animals. Vaccines provided according to the practice of the invention are effective against Mycoplasma infections. Detection and therapeutic polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies are also a feature of the present invention. Assays, kits, systems, and nanoparticle encapsulated compositions related to the polynucleotides, polypeptides, polyproteins, antibodies or fragments, derivatives, and variants thereof are also disclosed.
