THERAPIES, VACCINES, AND PREDICTIVE METHODS FOR MIDDLE EAST RESPIRATORY SYNDROME VIRUS (MERS CoV)

摘要

The present invention provides an isolated or synthesized protein fragment or peptide comprising at least one peptide sequence that is at least 50% homologous with at least one Replikin peptide sequence identified in a MERS CoV. The at least one peptide sequence may be at least 80% homologous with at least one Replikin peptide sequence identified in a MERS CoV. The at least one peptide sequence may be at least 46% homologous with at least one Replikin peptide sequence identified in a MERS CoV. The at least one peptide sequence may be at least 53% homologous with at least one Replikin peptide sequence.
