Abstract:
A fusion protein comprising a first peptide comprising an amino acid sequence or 1-10,000 repeats of an amino acid sequence, wherein said amino acid sequence is selected from the group consisting of SID NO:4, SID NO:6, SID NO:7, SID NO:8, SID NO:9, SID NO:10, SID NO:12, SID NO:13, SID NO:14, SID NO:15, SID NO:16, SID NO:17, SID NO:18, SID NO:19, SID NO:20, SID NO:21, SID NO:22, SID NO:23, SID NO:24, SID NO:25, SID NO:26, SID NO:27, SID NO:28, SID NO:29, SID NO:30, SID NO:31, SID NO:32, and SID NO:33; and a second peptide of at least 3 amino acids, which substantially fail to bind to human milk fat globule (HMFG) specific antibody; the fusion protein being at least 6 amino acids long.
