Study

name:	Antigenic epitopes of the hepatitis A virus polyprotein.
description:	This peptide is part of an immunoreactive domain (aas 1403-1456 in the viral polyprotein sequence), that spans the C-terminal portion of protein P2C and the N-terminal part of protein P3A sequences in the viral polyprotein, with high reactivity with acute-phase sera samples. Swiss-prot ID and positions correspond to the genome polyprotein, not to the mature source protein. 58.5% of acute phase sera recognize this peptide while 3.7% of normal human sera samples do. The assay experimental conditions were uniformly applied to all synthetic peptides without regard to optimizing assay conditions for each peptide, so authors claim it likely that with proper optimization, the nonspecific immunoreactivity might be significantly reduced or eliminated.
