  • Patent number: 7618635
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a super-antigen fusion protein, comprising: a peptide fragment whose sequence corresponds to a partial SARS E2 spike protein; and a translocating peptide fragment for transporting a protein into a cell and translocating the protein in cytosol; wherein, the amino acid sequence of the peptide fragment corresponding to the partial SARS E2 spike protein includes SEQ ID NO. 1, SEQ ID NO. 2, SEQ ID NO. 3 or SEQ ID NO. 4. The present invention further relates to DNA sequences corresponding to the partial SARS E2 spike protein includes SEQ ID NO. 5, SEQ ID NO. 6, SEQ ID NO. 7, or SEQ ID NO. 8; wherein the DNA sequences are able to express specific proteins in an E. Coli expression system.

  • Patent number: 7776340
    Abstract: A canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCV) that is present in the respiratory tract of dogs with canine infectious respiratory disease and which has a low level of homology to the enteric canine coronavirus, but which has a high level of homology to all bovine coronavirus strains (eg Quebec and LY138) and human coronavirus strain OC43. The CRCV spike, polymerase and hemagglutinin/esterase cDNA and protein partial sequences are listed in FIGS. (1) to (4), (13) and (14).

  • Publication number: 20080081047
    Abstract: Monoclonal antibody reagents that recognize the SARS-coronavirus (SARS-HCoV) are needed urgently. In this report we describe the development and immunochemical characterisation of mAbs against the SARS-HCoV based upon their specificity, binding requirements, and biological activity. Initial screening by ELISA, using highly purified virus as the coating antigen, resulted in the selection of seventeen mAbs. Five mAbs exhibited Western immunoblot reactivity with the denatured spike protein, of which two demonstrated the ability to neutralize SARS-HCoV in vitro. Another four Western immunoblot-negative mAbs also neutralize the virus. These antibodies will be useful for the development of diagnostic tests, pathogenicity and vaccine studies.
