  • Nucleic acids encoding human astrovirus serotype 2
    Patent number: 5625049
    Abstract: The present invention provides a nucleic acid encoding human Astrovirus serotype 2, or a unique fragment thereof. The sequence, a genomic RNA of human astrovirus serotype 2 contains 6,797 nucleotides, and is organized into three open reading frames. Also provided are purified antigenic polypeptide fragments encoded by the nucleic acid encoding human Astrovirus serotype 2, or unique portions thereof. The present invention also provides a monoclonal antibody specific for human astrovirus serotype 2 and isolated nucleic acids capable of selectively hybridizing with the nucleic acid of serotype 2, including methods for detecting the presence of serotype 2 utilizing these products.
