description:	Peptide 160 is similar to the published sequence of the amino-terminal region of the M5 protein of S. pyogenes, but with a deletion at residue 19. The published sequence is AVTRGTINDPQRAKEALDKYE. None of the subjects tested (Thais or Aborigines, heart disease or non heart disease, rheumatic or non-rheumatic) had significant serum antibody levels specific for this peptide.
