Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides novel identification polypeptides containing multiple copies of an antigenic domain joined in tandem to provide increased sensitivity for the detection and purification of target peptides, a cleavab le linking sequence and optionally a spacer domain. Further provided are hybrid polypeptide molecules composed of an identification polypeptide and a target peptide which are produced by recombinant DNA technology and purified using affinity chromatography using one or more ligands. Accordingly, also provide d are DNA expression vectors containing DNA encoding for identification polypeptides and methods for using such identification polypeptides for the purification of target peptides. Also provided are methods of constructing D NA vectors encoding the novel identification polypeptides and DNA expression vectors encoding the identification polypeptides linked to a target peptide.
