PEPTIDES CORRESPONDING TO ANTIGENIC AND IMMUNOGENIC DETERMINANTS OF MAJOR NEUTRALIZING PROTEINS OF ROTAVIRUSES

摘要

ABSTRACTSynthetic peptides corresponding to antigenicdeterminants of three major neutralizing proteins ofbovine rotavirus are disclosed. These peptides are usefulin stimulating immunity and interfering with viralinfectivity and can be used as vaccines and in other waysfor treatment, prevention or diagnosis of rotavirusinfections of birds and animals including man.
