Summary
Thirty eight human sera, seropositive for herpes simplex virus (HSV) and 56 human sera, seronegative for HSV by immunofluorescence and by ELISA, were investigated for reactivity with a series of overlapping synthetic peptides of HSV type 1 glycoprotein D (gD-1). Thirty four out of the 38 human sera positive for HSV reacted with peptides located between residues 300 and 369; the HSV-negative sera reacted with six of the gD-1 peptides, but with none of the peptides within residues 300 to 369.
