摘要:
The present invention relates, e.g., to an isolated peptide comprising a sequence of contiguous amino acids that is at least about 60% identical (e.g., at least about 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98% or 100% identical) to the sequence E-W-Q-K-E-G-L-V-T-L-W-L (SEQ ID NO:1), or an active variant of an isolated peptide comprising SEQ ID NO:1. Neutralizing antibodies generated by, or specific for, such peptides are also described, in particular antibodies which are specific for the HIV co-receptor, CCR5, and which inhibit infection of a host cell by HIV. Neutralizing single strand and complete human monoclonal antibodies against CCR5 are described. Methods of using such peptides or antibodies, for inhibiting infection by HIV, are also described.

摘要:
This invention relates to compositions and methods or the detection of immunodeficiency virus infection, especially immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection. The invention particularly concerns compositions and methods that may be used in HIV vaccine recipients whose sera may contain vaccine-generated anti-HIV-1 antibodies.

摘要:
This invention relates to compositions and methods or the detection of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection by conducting an immunoassay comprising the steps of: (a) contacting a biological sample containing HIV-1 antibody with a peptide, having an epitope, of one or more of SEQ ID 49-56 to form a peptide-anti-HIV-1 antibody complex; (b) contacting the formed complex with an anti-HIV-1 antibody binding molecule to permit the anti-HIV-1 antibody binding molecule to bind to the anti-HIV-1 antibody of the formed peptide-anti-HIV-1 antibody complex and form an extended complex that is immobilized on a solid support; (c) removing unbound anti-HIV-1 antibody and anti-HIV-1 antibody binding molecule from the extended complex; and (d) determining the presence or concentration of the anti-HIV-1 antibody in the biological sample.

摘要:
This invention relates to compositions and methods for the detection of HIV-1 antibodies employing polypeptides obtained from the Gag-p6 protein, the method comprising the steps of: (a) contacting a biological sample with a peptide having an epitope that is recognized by the anti-HIV-1 antibody where the contacting is under conditions sufficient to permit anti-HIV-1 present in the sample to bind to the epitope and form a peptide-anti-HIV-1 antibody complex; (b) contacting the formed peptide-anti-HIV-1 antibody complex with an anti-HIV-1 antibody binding molecule under conditions sufficient to permit the anti-HIV-1 antibody binding molecule to bind to anti-HIV-1 antibody of the formed peptide-anti-HIV-1 antibody complex and form an extended complex; said extended complex being immobilized on a solid support; and (c) removing unbound antibody from said extended complex; and (d) determining the presence or concentration of the anti-HIV-1 antibody in the biological sample by determining the presence or concentration of the formed extended complex.
