Immune responses of blood donors to peptides of various lengths and those with genotypic sequence variations corresponding to the N-terminal portion of the core protein of hepatitis C virus.

Abstract excerpt

Immune reactivities of blood donor sera with the peptides of various lengths (24, 30, 40 and 50 mer) and those with genotypic sequence variations in the N-terminal portion of the core protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV) were compared by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. It was found that a 40-mer oligopeptide (amino acids 2-41) was recognized more frequently than other peptides even in serum samples that did not...
