title: Suppression of tuftsin activity by the partial sequences of adenovirus type 2 proteins.
abstract: The synthesis of tuftsin inhibitor-like partial sequences of adenovirus type 2 proteins: TVPPR (1), TRPPR (2), TGPPT (3), PRPPT (4), FVPPR (5), ARPPA (6) and YGPPK (7) are described. The choice of peptides for synthesis was performed by using a simple computer-aided method for predicting antigenic determinants of proteins. For all these peptides an inhibitory activity against tuftsin was found.
