TT VIRUS POLYPEPTIDE, NUCLEIC ACID CODING FOR SAID POLYPEPTIDE AND USES

摘要

The invention concerns an isolated polypeptide selected among: (a) a polypeptide whereof the peptide sequence starts at amino acid 15 and ends at amino acid 263 of the sequence identified in SEQ ID NO: 1, or (b) a polypeptide whereof the peptide sequence has at least 95 %, preferably at least 98 % and advantageously at least 99 % homology or identity with the sequence defined in (a), or (c) a polypeptide whereof the peptide sequence starts at amino acid 41 and ends at amino acid 263 of the sequence identified in SEQ ID NO: 1 or whereof the peptide sequence starts at amino acid 99 and ends at amino acid 263 of the sequence identified in SEQ ID NO: 1, or (d) a fragment of said peptide sequence defined in (c) which comprises at least 4 amino acids, preferably at least 5 or 6 amino acids and advantageously 7 amino acids, in particular 6 to 15 amino acids and advantageously from 6 to 12 amino acids, from 6 to 10 or from 8 to 12 amino acids. The invention also concerns a DNA or RNA molecule coding for said polypeptide and their uses.
