Peptides, analogues and mixtures thereof for detecting and eliciting antibodies to the E1 and E2 Protein of rubella virus.

摘要

This invention discloses linear and cyclic peptides of the e1 and e2 glycoproteins of the rubella virus. These peptides and analogues, mixtures and combinations of them are useful in detecting and quantifying antibodies raised against the rubella virus. They are also useful in raising antibodies to the rubella virus for use in the diagnosis of and protection against rubella viral infections.
