摘要
The present invention relates to a method for the detection in body fluids of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV), also known as a non-A non-B hepatitis (NANBH) virus and to the diagnosis of NANBH by the use of a composition of synthetic peptides. Each of these peptides has an amino acid sequence corresponding to immunodominant regions of a fusion protein and a non-structural polypeptide of HCV, SOD/HCV C100 and a postulated HCV structural (core) protein. More specifically, the present invention is directed to the use of a group of synthetic peptides in a prescribed sequence or their analogues for the detection of antibodies to HCV in body fluids. The detection method includes an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and other forms of immunoassay procedures. The present invention also relates to a method for generating high titer antibodies to HCV in healthy mammals, including humans, by the use of compositions containing these synthetic peptides, analogues or mixtures thereof, in a free, conjugated or polymeric form as key components in synthetic vaccines for the prevention of non-A non-B hepatitis (NANBH).
