Abstract
Provided herein are compositions, methods, and kits for detecting human Pegivirus 2 (HPgV-2). In certain embodiments, provided herein are HPgV-2 specific nucleic acid probes and primers, and methods for detecting HPgV-2 nucleic acid. In other embodiments, provided herein are HPgV-2 immunogenic composition compositions, methods of treating a subject with immunogenic HPgV-2 peptides, and methods of detecting HPgV-2 subject antibodies in a sample.
Claims20
A method of detecting human Pegivirus 2 (HPgV-2) in a sample comprising:
- a) obtaining a biological sample that is from a human patient;
- and
- b) detecting whether HPgV-2 is present in the sample by contacting the sample with an anti-HPgV-2 antibody, or antigen binding portion thereof, and detecting binding between HPgV-2 and the antibody or antigen binding portion thereof.
