Peptide corresponding to 18aa from Hantaan Virus Nucleocapsid at N-terminal.

Hantaan virus (HNTV) is the prototype virus of the genus hantavirus of the family Bunyaviridae, an enveloped, negative-sense RNA virus that is the eiological agent of Korean hemorrhagic fever (1). Infection of cultured Vero E6 cells with HNTV induced expression of the heat shock protein HSP70. A substantial fraction of HSP70 was found to be associated with the HNTV nucleocapsid (NP) (2). Vero E6 cells that overexpress HSP70 show significantly reduced levels of NP and an increased resistance to infection by HNTV (2).
