Fragments of virus protein 2 or 3 of polyoma virus as vehicles for active substances

Abstract

The invention relates to a synthetic, biologically active molecule for fixing an active ingredient to the virus protein 1 (VP1) of the polyoma virus. According to the invention, an amino acid sequence A1 which is derived from the C-terminal end of virus protein 2 (VP2) or 3 (VP3) of the polyoma virus is bonded to an active ingredient at one of its ends.

1 . A synthetic biologically active molecule composed of an active substance and an amino acid sequence (A1) derived from the C-terminal end of virus protein 2 (VP2) or 3 (VP3) of polyoma virus, wherein the active substance is bound to the amino acid sequence (A1) so that the active substance can be associated with the virus protein 1 (VP1) of polyoma virus by means of the amino acid sequence (A1) with the formation of a structured capsomer, and wherein the amino acid sequence (A1) linked to the active substance is not VP2 or VP3.
