 AB    Reactivity of 26 synthetic peptides that comprise 12 to 26 amino acid
       residues corresponding to segments of the gag p19, env gp46, and pol
       proteins of human T-lymphotropic virus type I toward 31 positive sera
       was studied using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Specific reactivity
       with high titers of antibodies (presented in reciprocal dilution values)
       was detected for the synthetic peptides corresponding to fragments
       110-130 and 100-130 (titers up to 4050) of p19, 174-197 (up to 800),
       186-201 (up to 4050), 191-215 (up to 1350), 242-257 (up to 800), and
       272-292 (up to 450) of gp46. Immunoreactivity of seven peptides,
       fragments of pol-proteins, was weak. New linear epitopes in the regions
       145-158, 272-277, and 292-300 of gp46 were detected. In addition,
       location of the known linear epitopes in p19 and gp46 was refined on the
       basis of comparative study of overlapping peptides from these proteins.
