Peptides incorporating all of the sequences predicted in the open reading frames of the SARS-CoV genome were prepared on derivatized cellulose membranes using a robotic peptide synthesizer (Autospot ASP 222, Intavis Bioanalytical Instruments, Lagenfeld, Germany). These data indicate that the four recovered cases developed antibodies with viral neutralizing potency between the time of acute and convalescent serum sampling. Therefore, those peptides strongly recognized on membranes probed with convalescent sera, but not with acute or control sera, should be the most immunodominant and may include SARS-CoV epitopes that are vulnerable to neutralization by antibody. Shown in Table 2 are the 24 overlapping membrane peptides that were recognized exclusively, or much more strongly, in multiple pairs of convalescent compared with the respective acute sera. ./cache/cord-260376-29ih5c9v.txt ./txt/cord-260376-29ih5c9v.txt
