Abstract
Peptide antigens are provided which are derived from the enterically transmitted non-A/non-B viral hepatitis agent, known as hepatitis E virus (HEV). The HEV derived peptides and in particular, SG3, are immunoreactive with sera from individuals infected with HEV. The antigens are useful as diagnostic reagents in diagnostic methods and kits for determining infection of an individual with HEV.
