Abstract
A synthetic peptide, containing the predicted amino acid residues 64 to 77 of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) gB structural glycoprotein open reading frame, a synthetic subunit immunogen that stimulates an immune response against HSV1 and which, when prepared, and chemically-conjugated to a protein carrier molecule, and inoculated into test animals, gives rise to a specific anti-peptide IgG response, such that these anti-peptide antibodies react with a purified HSV-specific structural glycoprotein preparation and are capable of neutralizing the infectivity of HSV1.
