Patent

CA 2328904

The invention relates to (poly)peptides which are recognized by anti-human herpes virus type 8 (HHV8) antibodies of patients infected with HHV8, whereby these (poly)peptides are not naturally occurring HHV8 proteins. The invention also relates to polymers comprising at least two of the same or different inventive peptides, and to conjugates which comprise the inventive peptides and/or polymers. Additionally, the invention relates to mixtures which comprise the inventive peptides and/or polymers and which are used in the method in order to detect anti-HHV8 antibodies in a very sensitive and specific manner. The invention provides a diagnostic kit which comprises the inventive peptides, polymers and/or mixtures and which can be used to detect anti-HHV8 antibodies or to diagnose an HHV8 infection.

La présente invention concerne des (poly)peptides qui peuvent être reconnus par des anticorps dirigés contre le virus 8 de l'herpès humain, de patients infectés par ledit virus, ces (poly)peptides étant des protéines de virus 8 de l'herpès humain n'apparaissant pas naturellement. La présente invention concerne en outre des polymères comprenant au moins deux peptides selon l'invention identiques ou différents, ainsi que des conjugués qui comprennent les peptides et/ou polymères selon l'invention. L'invention concerne également des mélanges qui comprennent les peptides et/ou polymères selon l'invention et sont utilisés dans des procédés pour détecter, de façon très sensible et spécifique, des anticorps dirigés contre le virus 8 de l'herpès humain. De plus, la présente invention concerne un nécessaire de diagnostic qui comprend les peptides, les polymères et/ou les mélanges selon l'invention et qui peut être utilisé pour la detection d'anticorps dirigés contre le virus 8 de l'herpès humain ou pour effectuer le diagnostic d'une infection par le virus 8 de l'herpès humain.
