Abstract		The invention describes novel synthethic paptides imitating natural epitopes on the membrane of pathogenic mycoplasma M. gallisepticum and a process for the preparation thereof. By the mentioned peptides native antigens in serological tests can be substituted and they can used as vaccines or as antigens for the preparation of antibodies. Antibodies prepared by means of these peptides recognize native mycoplasma epitopes and are useful in various diagnostic test for determination of poultry infections with M. gallisepticum, they prevent the growth of the mentioned mycoplasma and are also suitable for the isolation of native or recombinant main immunogenic pMGA or its subunits.
