Synthetic noxiustoxin related peptides

摘要

The invention relates to a novel immunogenic synthetic peptide that is capable of specifically blocking potassium channels of excitable membranes and inducing immunity against an effective lethal dose of Noxiustoxin. The invention also relates to the discovery that the immunogenic and blocking properties of the peptide are severable. Peptides possessing either the immunogenic or the blocking property are disclosed.
