PROTEINS/PEPTIDES HAVING IMMUNOGENIC PROPERTIES AND THEIR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS

摘要

The invention relates to proteins/peptides having immunogenic properties, such as obtained from Aedes mosquitoes, particularly from salivary gland extracts of Ae. aegypti or Ae.albopictus, using a method comprising submitting said extracts to a two-dimensional electrophoresis, staining the gels with a protein staining agent, followed by a Western blot, wherein the gels have been labelled or coloured to specifically detect the proteins/peptides, detecting IgG proteins on membranes with a pool of DHF patients' sera.
