摘要:
A mouse monoclonal antibody is provided which detects HIV-2 seropositive individuals and differentiates them from HIV-1 seropositive individuals. The monoclonal antibody is specific for an epitope of HIV-2 gp41 which lies outside the characterized immunodominant region. The epitope recognized by the monoclonal antibody has the amino acid sequence HTTVPW.

The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies demonstrating specific reactivity with HIV-1 p24. One monoclonal antibody designated 31-42-19 recognizes an unique epitope on HIV-1 p24 that is not immunogenic in humans. 31-42-19 also reacts with an antigenically cross reactive epitope on HIV-2 p24. Another monoclonal antibody designated 31-90-25 recognizes an epitope within a highly immunogenic region of HIV-1 p24. The present invention also provides cell lines capable of producing these monoclonal antibodies. The invention also includes a highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay for the detection of HIV-1 p24 in biological fluids, using a monoclonal antibody mixture. The present invention further provides methods for the use of these monoclonal antibodies for the detection of anti-HIV-1 p24 antibodies and HIV-2 p24 antigen in biological samples.
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:
This invention relates generally to an assay for Lyme disease which detects the antibody to Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. More specifically, the assay employs antigens derived from amino acid regions in the flagellum of Borrelia burgdorferi. These antigens are immunoreactive with antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi but are not substantially immunoreactive with antibodies to Treponema pallidum, the syphilis causing agent. DNA sequences of the antigens, clones and vectors containing the DNA sequences are also disclosed. Polypeptides derived therefrom can be used as reagents for the detection of antibody to Borrelia burgdorferi in the body fluids from individuals with Lyme disease.
