摘要:
The present invention relates to novel monoclonal antibodies which may be used in the detection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). These antibodies exhibit an unusually high degree of sensitivity, a remarkably broad range of specificity, and bind to novel shared, non-cross-reactive epitopes. In particular, the monoclonal antibodies of the present invention may be utilized to detect HIV-1 antigen and HIV-2 core antigen in a patient sample.
摘要:
A method for detecting antibody to HCV in a test sample. The method includes utilizing a recombinant protein that is the expression product of mammalian cells transformed by a heterologous expression vector comprising a DNA sequence encoding an E2 truncated protein. Test kits which include this recombinant protein also are provided.
