摘要

The invention provides a new enteroviral species called Prima7, and functional parts, derivatives and analogues of said virus. Proteinaceous molecules capable of specifically binding Prima7, such as isolated or recombinant antibodies, are also herewith provided. A virus and/or proteinaceous molecule of the invention is particularly suitable for diagnosis of a Prima7 related disease. Vaccines, pharmaceutical compositions and diagnostic kits comprising said virus or proteinaceous molecule are also provided, as well as methods for producing same. A diagnostic kit of the invention may as well comprise a primer/probe capable of amplifying and/or hybridising the genome or part thereof of Prima7.
