The present invention relates in part to amino acid sequences that are directed against and/or that can specifically bind to an envelope protein of a virus, as well as to compounds or constructs, and in particular proteins and polypeptides, that comprise or essentially consist of one or more such amino acid sequences. La présente invention concerne des séquences d'acides aminés dirigées contre et/ou pouvant se lier de manière spécifique à une protéine d'enveloppe d'un virus. Elle concerne également des compositions ou des constructions, et en particulier des protéines et des polypeptides qui comprennent ou sont essentiellement constitués d'au moins une desdites séquences d'acides aminés.
