title: Antigenicity of synthetic peptides derived from C100 protein of hepatitis C virus.
abstract: Synthetic octapeptides spanning the 119-147 region of the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) C100 protein were tested on HCV positive sera. The 138-145 region proved to be antigenic and possibly able to avoid undesired cross-reactions.
