Outline of Final Research Achievements

For taking measures against pandemic by emerging of new strains of influenza virus (IFV), we carried out the development of virus detection method and infection inhibitor using IFV-binding peptides. IFV hemagglutinin (HA)-binding peptides were selected from a phage-displayed peptide library. Thermodynamic parameters for the interaction between peptides and HA were determined by isothermal titration calorimetry, and it was indicated that pentapeptides suitable for the size of the receptor-binding pocket in HA showed the similar enthalpy change with pentadecapeptides. The pentapeptide ARLPR showed high infection inhibition activity against major IFV subtypes. Furthermore, by the immobilization of the HA-binding peptides on diamond electrode, we could achieve highly sensitive detection of IFV.
