A norovirus-binding peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:
- 12, 20, 28, 35, 40, 43, 48, 52, 59, 68, 104, 131, 134, 141, 143, 146, 150, 154, 155, 156, 157, 159, 160, 162, 163, 172, and 173 with a cysteine residue added to either or both of an N-terminus and a C-terminus thereof.
A norovirus-binding peptide consisting of an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:
- 12, 20, 28, 35, 40, 43, 48, 52, 59, 68, 104, 131, 134, 141, 143, 146, 150, 154, 155, 156, 157, 159, 160, 162, 163, 172, and 173 with 1 to 20 amino acids added to either or both of the N-terminus and the C-terminus of the peptide.
A method for detecting norovirus, the method comprising
- (a) bringing a norovirus-binding peptide into contact with a sample that contains or may contain norovirus, and
- (b) detecting whether the norovirus-binding peptide that was in contact with the sample bound to norovirus that were in the sample;
- wherein the amino acid sequence of the norovirus-binding peptide consists of an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:
- 12, 20, 28, 35, 40, 43, 48, 52, 59, 68, 104, 131, 134, 141, 143, 146, 150, 154, 155, 156, 157, 159, 160, 162, 163, 172, and 173.
