A fusion protein comprising a first amino acid sequence which is of an approximately 45 kDa polypeptide and a second amino acid sequence which is of an approximately 15 kDa polypeptide, wherein a first nucleotide sequence that codes for the first amino acid sequence hybridizes under stringent conditions with the complement of a nucleic acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:37, SEQ ID NO:42 and SEQ ID NO:45, and wherein a second nucleotide sequence that codes for the second amino acid sequence hybridizes under stringent condition with the complement of a nucleic acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NO:31, SEQ ID NO:35, SEQ ID NO:40 and SEQ ID NO:44.
