Abstract excerpt

The complete amino acid sequences of hepatitis C virus (HCV) core (residues 1 to 115) and putative matrix (residues 116 to 190) proteins were synthesized as 18-residue-long peptides with an 8-amino-acid overlap. The peptides were assayed with 50 human serum samples with antibodies to HCV (anti-HC...
