The invention provides chimeric proteins comprising a non-toxic
Pseudomonas exotoxin A sequence and a Type IV pilin loop sequence,
wherein the Type IV loop sequence is inserted within the non-toxic
Pseudomonas exotoxin A. The invention also provides polynucleotides
encoding the chimeric proteins, and compositions comprising the
polynucleotides or the chimeric proteins. The invention also provides
methods for using the chimeric proteins, polynucleotides and compositions
of the invention.
