HUMAN RHINOVIRUS PEPTIDES

摘要

A synthetic peptide, suitable for use as a vaccine against a human rhinovirus (HRV), presents an epitope comprising amino acid residues 156 to 164 of VP2 of HRV type 2 or equivalent amino acid residues of another HRV. Optionally one or more of the acid residues may be replaced by one or more other amino acid residues which do not affect the antigenicity of the peptide.
