Abstract
The present invention is directed toward the use of a synthetic peptide as the antigen in an immunoassay for the detection of antibodies against the equine infectious anemia virus in the serum of horses. The synthetic peptide corresponds to the amino acid sequence of an antigenic portion of the GP-45 envelope protein of the equine infectious anemia virus. The immunoassay may be a direct second antibody immunoassay, a one or two step sandwich immunoassay, or a competitive immunoassay.
