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~ proteinof pestiviruses for type -specific diagnosis of infection, for elicitingantibiotic activity and for transport of substances into a cell. For amongothers these purposes the invention provides an isolated, synthetic orrecombinant protein module or functional equivalent thereof comprising anamino acid sequence that is at least 75 % identical to an amino acid sequenceof a peptide located from at about amino acid position 194 to 220 in apestiviral Erns~ protein.
