The ltr region of msrv-1 and the proteins it encodes, and probes and methods fordetecting msrv-1 retrovirus

摘要

The invention relates to a nucleotide fragment of a LTR-RU5 region comprising a nucleotide sequence which encodes the expression of a protein, wherein said protein comprises a peptide sequence selected from SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:3 and SEQ ID NO:4, and a complementary nucleotide fragment ; a probe and a primer hybridizing with said fragment ; a protein encoded by said fragment ; an antibody directed against said protein ; and a process for detecting the presence of MSRV-1 retrovirus using a probe or an antibody of the invention.
