NEW TTV SEQUENCES FOR DIAGNOSIS, PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF CHILDHOOD LEUKAEMIA

摘要

Described are (a) a particular rearranged TTV polynucleic acid and (b) probes and primers comprising part of said TTV polynucleic acid. Moreover, polypeptides encoded by said TTV polynucleic acid as well as antibodies binding to said polypeptide are described. Finally, various uses of said compounds for diagnosis of future development of childhood leukaemia and for other malignant proliferations (cancer) and autoimmune diseases and a vaccine for prevention or treatment of said disease are described.
