Fig. 5.

Reactivity of sera from MHV-infected mice with synthetic peptides. Ab binding to the decapeptides showed in Fig. 4 was determined by ELISA as indicated in Section 2. Results are expressed as specific optical density values for Ab binding to sequences corresponding to rat liver FAH (black bars) or the indicated different MHV proteins (white bars). Peptides synthesized on pins were numbered according to Fig. 4. Results presented in A, B and C were obtained with individual sera from three different BALB/c mice after 30, 45 and 90 days of MHV infection, respectively.
