New peptides based on the C-terminal region of hepatitis B virus core antigen, is useful for vaccine production

摘要

Peptides (I) based on the C-terminal region of hepatitis B virus core antigen are new. Peptides of formula PepS-(SPBmX1X2)n-PepE(I) are new: PepS, PepE = peptides of 0-200 amino acids; S = serine; P = proline; B = Arg, Lys or His; m = 2-20; n = a positive integer; X1, X2 = amino acids. An Independent claim is also included for a pharmaceutical composition comprising a peptide (I) and a carrier.
