Patent ID: 7854937

Claim:
An isolated peptide selected from the following: a) a peptide consisting of SEQ ID NO:25, wherein the peptide's N-terminal chemical moiety is an amino group and the peptide's C-terminal chemical moiety is a carboxyl group; b) a peptide consisting of SEQ ID NO:25, wherein the peptide's N-terminal chemical moiety is selected from the group consisting of an acetyl group, a hydrophobic group, a carbobenzyloxy group, a dansyl group, a t-butyloxycarbonyl group, and a macromolecular group; or wherein the peptide's C-terminal chemical moiety is selected from the group consisting of a amido group, a hydrophobic group, a t-butyloxycarbonyl group and a macromolecular group; c) a peptide consisting of SEQ ID NO:25, wherein at least one bond linking adjacent amino acid residues of the peptide is a non-peptide bond; or d) a peptide consisting of SEQ ID NO:25, wherein at least one amino acid residue of the peptide is in the D-isomer configuration.
