METHOD FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF EXTRACELLULAR DOMAINS OF THE EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS (EBV), TUMOR-ASSOCIATED LATENT MEMBRANE PROTEINS AND FOR THE SELECTION OF ANTIBODY REAGENTS REACTIVE THEREWITH

摘要

Described are peptides, comprising extracellular domains of Epstein Barr Virus encoded tumour cell associated membrane proteins, and use of said peptides for immunization and therapeutic vaccination to induce antibodies and T-cells reactive with said domains, and antibody reagents, capable of specifically binding to the said domains and the use of said antibody reagents for the production of targeting cells, tumour cell purging and as diagnostic for and medicament against EBV-mediated malignant cell growth.
