26. A recombinant vector comprising a nucleic acid
segment of that:
(a) encodes an amino acid sequence as set forth in
Figure 2 of the drawing;
(b) encodes the amino acid sequence phe-lys-glu-gln-phe-
leu-asp-gly-asp-gly-trp-thr-asp-arg;
(c) encodes the amino acid sequence lys-glu-gln-phe-leu-
asp-gly-asp-gly-trp-thr-asp-arg-trp-ile-glu-ser; or
(d) that corresponds to, or is complementary to, from a
14 to 1890 nucleotide long region of the DNA
sequence of Figure 2 of the drawings, said segment
being capable of forming a hybrid with the
nucleotide sequence of Figure 2 under conditions
that include 6 x SSC at 42EC.
