Study

name:	Chemically synthesized peptides of hepatitis B surface antigen duplicate the d/y specificities and induce subtype-specific antibodies in chimpanzees.
description:	Chimpanzees immunized with the epitope, peptide 49, conjugated to KLH generated a brisk primary and secondary response to peptide 49. All anti-peptide titers decayed with time and subsequent boosts only induced low-level, transient responses.
