ABSTRACT:
The present method relates to the serological detection of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) infection by means of reaction of a patient serum with a peptide specific to HSV-2 having the sequence Ala-Arg-Ser-Pro-Glu -Arg-Gln-Glu-Pro-Arg-Glu-Pro-Glu. The peptide may be further modified by the addition of a Cys or a biotin molecule. The peptide may be used in any of a number of assays including enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), a radioimmunoassay (RIA), and other forms of immunoassay such as enzyme immunoblotting assay on a suitable adsorbent paper or an agglutination assay using the peptide composition as the antigen.
