  • Equine arteritis virus peptides, antibodies and their use in a diagnostic test
    Patent number: 6342222
    Abstract: A peptide or peptide conjugate is provided comprising one or more epitopes capable of producing an immune response against equine arteritis virus in animals. The peptides and conjugates are useful in vaccines directed against equine arteritis virus, an agent implicated in equine abortion, and as binding agents for use in binding assays, including ELISA assays, for antibodies thereto. Antibodies and antisera to the peptides and peptide conjugates may also be used as such binding agents in assays directed at the virus itself.
