Abstract excerpt
Nine peptides from immunodominant (53-68 and 65-80 aa) and hypervariable (201-213 aa) regions derived from delta antigen sequences corresponding to 3 HDV genotypes were synthesized. Type specificity of antibodies to the resultant peptides was evaluated by indirect enzyme immunoassay with sera from patients with hepatitis D and asymptomatic carriers of anti-delta antibodies. Analysis of the results showed that HDV...
