Abstract
Disclosed is a method for determining the presence in mammalian serum of antibodies against specific strains of HIV through the use of SP-10 peptides. The method incorporates the use of SP-10 peptides derived from the following HIV strains: IIIB, MN, RF, SC, WMJ-1, WMJ-2, WMJ-3, ARV-2, and LAV-1.
Claims2
A method of determining the presence in mammalian serum of antibodies against a specific strain of HIV-1 comprising the steps of:
- (i) contacting a SP-10 peptide of said HIV-1 strain with said mammalian serum under conditions such that a complex between said peptide and said antibodies present in said mammalian serum can form;
- and (ii) measuring the formation of said complex.
