  • Immunoreactive peptides from Epstein-Barr virus
    Patent number: 7060283
    Abstract: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) specific polypeptides consisting of a series of one to 1000 peptide units selected from the group consisting of peptide units ?, ?, ? and ?, wherein ? is 25 amino acids or less and has the formula (?ETFTETWNRFITHTE?) (SEQ ID NO:1), ? is 25 amino acids or less and has the formula (?GMLEASEGLDGWIHQ?) (SEQ ID NO:2), ? is 25 amino acids or less and has the formula (?HQQGGWSTLIEDNI?) (SEQ ID NO:3), ? is 25 amino acids or less and has the formula (?KQKHPKKVKQAFNPL?) (SEQ ID NO:4), ? and ? are each independently from 0 to 5 naturally occurring amino acids, and the polypeptide is capable of binding antibody in a specimen from an individual with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated disease are disclosed. Also disclosed are the use of these polypeptides for the production of polypeptide-specific antibodies and the diagnosis and treatment of EBV-associated disease.
