  • Rotavirus VP6 as a diagnostic and targeting agent
    Patent number: 5431899
    Abstract: Advantage is taken of the ability of rotaviral VP6 protein to home to macrophage and monocytes to provide label to these cells in either an in vitro or in vivo environment. Further, the ability to couple label to the VP6 protein and to couple VP6 to a targeting agent provides a mechanism for conducting label (or an effector moiety) to any desired target.
