TRANSPORT PEPTIDES DIRIVED FROM ERNS PROTEIN, CYTOTOXIC RNASE OF RIBOSOME-INACTIVATING PROTEIN OR A RSV G-PROTEIN AND ANALOGUES THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to peptides derived from or similar to the Erns~ prote in of pestiviruses for type -specific diagnosis of infection, for eliciting antibiotic activity and for transport of substances into a cell. For among others these purposes the invention provides an isolated, synthetic or recombinant protein module or functional equivalent thereof comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 75 % identical to an amino acid sequenc e of a peptide located from at about amino acid position 194 to 220 in a pestiviral Erns~ protein.
