Abstract:
The invention relates to a peptide domain required for interaction between the envelope of a virus pertaining to the HERV-W interference group and an hASCT receptor, comprising an N end point and a C end point. Said peptide domain is defined, at the N end point thereof, by a pattern formed by the amino acids L (Z) a -proline-cysteine-X-cysteine in which Z is any amino acid, a is a whole number between 2 and 30, and X is any amino acid, and at the C end point thereof, by a pattern formed by the amino acids serine-aspartic acid-X a -X b -X c -X d -X e -aspartic acid-X f X g -(Z) ß in which X a , X b , X c , X d , X e , X f X g are any amino acids, Z is any amino acid, ß is a whole number between 15 and 25, preferably 20. The peptide domain comprises, between the N end point and the C end point , at least one pattern selected from the following patterns: a pattern formed by the amino acids cysteine-tyrosine-X 2 -X 3 -X 4 -X 5 - X 6 -cysteine in which X 2 , X 3 , X 4 , X 5 , X 6 are any amino acids, and a pattern formed by the amino acids cysteine-X 7 -X 8 -X 9 -X 10 -X 11 - X 12 - X 13 -X 14 -X 15 -cysteine-trytophane in which X 7 , X 8 , X 9 , X 10 , X 11 , X 12 , X 13 , X 14 , X 15 are any amino acids.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for obtaining a capture phase of a target biological material, comprising a modified protein of interest, capable of binding with said target biological material and immobilized on an immobilization phase which consists in providing at least two different peptide sequences, including the peptide sequence of the protein of interest, and a succession of at least six lysine residues and a succession of at least six histidine residues at their N- and C- termini, immobilizing each of the two peptide sequences obtained on the immobilization phase, determining the efficacy of the coupling between each of the two sequences and the immobilization phase, selecting as capture phase, the peptide sequence more efficiently coupled to the immobilization phase. The invention also concerns a method for obtaining a detection phase of a target biological material, comprising a modified protein of interest capable of binding with said target biological material and coupled to a hapten, which consists in providing at least two different peptide sequences, including the peptide sequence of the protein of interest, and a succession of at least six lysine residues and a succession of at least six histidine residues at their N- and C- termini, coupling each of the two peptide sequences obtained to the hapten, determining the efficacy of the coupling between each of the two sequences to the hapten, selecting as detection phase, the peptide sequence more efficiently coupled to the hapten, and the use of the capture and detection phases obtained for detecting a target biological material, in ELISA.
