Abstract

Specific peptide fragment from the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), and its use as a diagnostic reagent. The said peptide fragment, derived from the Env protein of the Wo strain of the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) (peptide P253), corresponds to positions 693-709 of the said Env protein and exhibits the following sequence: Leu-Gly-X-Asn-Gln-Asn-Gln-Phe-Phe-X-Lys-Val-Pro-Ser-Ala-, in which X represents a cysteine or a serine, as follows: PA1 Leu-Gly-Cys-Asn-Gln-Asn-Gln-Phe-Phe-Cys-Lys-Val-Pro-Ser-Ala (SEQ ID NO: 1), PA1 Leu-Gly-Ser-Asn-Gln-Asn-Gln-Phe-Phe-Ser-Lys-Val-Pro-Ser-Ala (SEQ ID NO: 2), PA1 Leu-Gly-Cys-Asn-Gln-Asn-Gln-Phe-Phe-Ser-Lys-Val-Pro-Ser-Ala (SEQ ID NO: 3), PA1 Leu-Gly-Ser-Asn-Gln-Asn-Gln-Phe-Phe-Cys-Lys-Val-Pro-Ser-Ala (SEQ ID NO: 4).
