Abstract

The invention relates to a DNA sequence which encodes three specific human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) peptides of the pp150 protein. These peptides are shown to have novel immunogenic properties. The DNA sequence is also used in a method of hybridization for the detection of fully complementary sequences.
