  • Rotavirus peptide compositions and methods of use
    Patent number: 6086880
    Abstract: A number of subunits of various rotaviral proteins have been shown to be useful in diagnosis, therapy, and prevention of rotaviral infection. Specifically, the subunits represented by positions 40-60 of VP6, 232-255 and 240-248 of VP4, and 247-259 and 275-295 of VP7 are thus useful. Furthermore, the VP4 subunits have therapeutic value in competing with the native viral protein in an essential step in infection.
