title: A cyclized peptide for studies of human parvovirus B19 infection.
abstract: Synthetic peptides corresponding to human parvovirus B19 sequences were evaluated for immunoreactivity with the sera of infected persons. A cyclized peptide deduced from the N terminus of viral protein VP2 and containing the amino acids 284-307 showed a high reactivity with IgM class antibodies when comparing seropositive and seronegative sera.
