A method of immunoassay of a hepatitis C virus (HCV) antigen in a specimen by utilizing the specific avidity of an antigen peptide compound having an amino acid sequence represented by the following formula (1) to (2) with a HCV antibody: (1) Arg-Lys-Thr-Ser-Glu-Arg-Ser-Gln-Pro-Arg-Gly-Arg-Arg-Gln-Pro-Ile-Pro-Ly s-Ala-Arg-Arg-Pro-Glu-Gly-Arg-Thr-Trp-Ala-Gln-Pro ..., (2) Arg-Lys-Thr-Ser-Glu-Arg-Ser-Gln-Pro-Arg-Gly-Arg-Arg-Gln-Pro-Ile-Pro-Ly s-Asp-Arg-Arg-Ser-Thr-Gly-Lys-Ser-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro ... This method enables the serotype of a specimen to be determined readily and accurately while suppressing the cross reaction or nonspecific reaction, the effect of interferon therapy to be anticipated accurately, and the healing or the progress of treatment of hepatitis C to be observed in a simplified manner. |
