Antigenic epitopes of the hepatitis A virus polyprotein.
description:
This peptide is part of an immunoreactive domain (aas 767-842 in the viral polyprotein sequence) with high specific reactivity with acute-phase sera samples. The manuscript identifies it as part of P2A protein, while Swiss-prot assigns it to the boundary between VP1 and P2A proteins. Swiss-prot ID and positions correspond to the genome polyprotein, not to the mature source protein.
31.3% of acute phase sera recognize this peptide while 0% of normal human sera samples do.
