Abstract
The invention pertains to synthetic (s) peptides derived from the viral regulatory protein R (Vpr) of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), particularly the chemical synthesis of the 96 amino acid full length Vpr protein (sVpr), of a 47 amino acid long N-terminal (sVpr), of a 49 amino acid long C-terminal fragment (sVpr) as well as fragments thereof (sVprand sVpr) and further approximately 15 amino acid long fragments of sVpr. As fragments or full length products of the HIV-1 regulatory protein, those products are used in biological assays, for molecular and structural characterization of Vpr and domains thereof, as well as for the development of anti-Vpr antibodies directed against Vpr peptide sequences.
