Abstract
The present invention relates to immunoreactive peptides that are homologous with the region encompassing amino acid positions 450 to 655 of glycoprotein II of varicella zoster virus. In this context, preference is given to those peptides corresponding to segments of amino acids 505 to 647, 517 to 597, 535 to 584 or 545 to 582. The immunoreactive peptides are useful for methods of diagnosing varicella zoster virus infection.
