PEPTIDE FOR MEASURING ANTIBODY AGAINST HEPATITIS C AND REAGENT FOR MEASURING

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reagent which is used for measuring an antibody against hepatitis C and can solve the problem of false negative reactions in hepatitis C screening tests. SOLUTION: This peptide used for measuring an antibody against hepatitis C comprises one or more peptides selected from six kinds of peptides in the sequence table, such as the sequence No.1: Val Lys Phe Pro Gly Gly Gly Asn Ile Val Gly Gly Leu Tyr Leu Leu Pro Arg Arg Gly, and the sequence No.2: Val Lys Phe Pro Ala Gly Gly Gln Ile Leu Gly Gly Val Tyr Leu Val Pro Arg Arg Gly. The reagent for measuring the hepatitis C comprises the peptide(s) carried on an insoluble carrier.
