Abstract
The present invention relates generally to molecules such as peptides, polypeptides and proteins which carry epitopes and in particular B cell epitopes from antigenic proteins encoded by Hepatitis E Virus. These molecules are selectively immunoreactive to convalescent and/or acute phase circulating antibodies to the Hepatitis E Virus and are useful in the development of diagnostic therapeutical and prophylactic agents for Hepatitis E Virus.
