Transport peptides derived from Erns protein, cytotoxic RNase of ribosome-inactivating protein or a RSV G-protein and analogues thereof

摘要

The invention relates to peptides derived from or similar to the Erns protein of pestiviruses for type -specific diagnosis of infection, for eliciting antibiotic activity and for transport of substances into a cell. For among others these purposes the invention provides an isolated, synthetic or recombinant protein module or functional equivalent thereof comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 75% identical to an amino acid sequence of a peptide located from at about amino acid position 194 to 220 in a pestiviral Erns protein.
