  • Peptide fragments reacting specifically with antibodies against highly pathogenic newcastle disease virus and uses thereof
    Patent number: 8114408
    Abstract: We disclose synthetic peptide fragments comprising amino acid sequences of specific antigen sites of pathogenic Newcastle disease virus in birds, and more particularly synthetic peptide fragments that comprise polybasic amino acid sequences at the cleavage site of the F protein of pathogenic Newcastle disease virus and that induce humoral immune responses in hosts while reacting only with antibodies to pathogenic Newcastle disease virus and are useful to differentiate infected individuals from vaccinated individuals.
