  • Publication number: 20180057541
    Abstract: A Senecavirus A polypeptide generally includes at least a portion of 151-434 of SEQ ID NO:1, amino acids 435-673 of SEQ ID NO:1, or amino acids 674-937 of SEQ ID NO:1. The Senecavirus A polypeptide may be used as a capture antigen in a method or device for detecting antibody that specifically binds to the Senecavirus A polypeptide. The Senecavirus A polypeptide may be used as a immunogen to vaccinate a subject having or at risk of having a Senecavirus A infection.

  • Publication number: 20180057547
    Abstract: A method of diagnosing coeliac disease, or susceptibility to coeliac disease, in an individual comprising: (a) contacting a sample from the host with an agent selected from (i) the epitope comprising sequence which is: SEQ ID NO:1 or 2, or an equivalent sequence from a naturally occurring homologue of the gliadin represented by SEQ ID NO:3, (ii) an epitope comprising sequence comprising: SEQ ID NO:1, or an equivalent sequence from a naturally occurring homologue of the gliadin represented by SEQ ID NO:3, which epitope is an isolated oligopeptide derived from a gliadin protein, (iii) an analogue of (i) or (ii) which is capable of being recognised by a T cell receptor that recognises (i) or (ii), which in the case of a peptide analogue is not more than 50 amino acids in length, or (iv) a product comprising two or more agents as defined in (i), (ii) or (iii), and (b) determining in vitro whether T cells in the sample recognise the agent; recognition by the T cells indicating that the individual has, or is susce
