发明名称 HSV-1 epitopes and methods for using same
摘要 The invention provides HSV antigens and epitopes that are useful for the prevention and treatment of HSV infection. T-cells having specificity for antigens of the invention have demonstrated cytotoxic activity against cells loaded with virally-encoded peptide epitopes, and in many cases, against cells infected with HSV. The identification of immunogenic antigens responsible for T-cell specificity provides improved anti-viral therapeutic and prophylactic strategies. Compositions containing antigens or polynucleotides encoding antigens of the invention provide effectively targeted vaccines for prevention and treatment of HSV infection.

主权项 1. A fusion protein, comprising a heterologous polypeptide fused to an immunogenic portion of HSV-1VP16 (SEQ ID NO:1), wherein said portion consists of amino acids 64-160, 90-99, 141-240, 191-203, 215-227, 218-320, 219-230, 479-489, 479-488, 480-488 or 477-490 of VP16 (SEQ ID NO: 1) and up to 50 amino acids of adjacent sequence of the original protein of SEQ ID NO:1, or a polynucleotide encoding said fusion protein.
