摘要:
The determination of the nucleotide sequence of HIV-1 DNA; identification, isolation and expression of HIV-1 DNA sequences which encode immunoreactive polypeptides by recombinant DNA methods and production of viral RNA are disclosed. Such polypeptides can be employed in immunoassays to detect HIV-1.
摘要:
The determination of the nucleotide sequence of HTLV-III DNA; identification, isolation and expression of HTLV-III sequences which encode immunoreactive polypeptides by recombinant DNA methods and production of viral RNA are disclosed. Such polypeptides can be employed in immunoassays to detect HTLV-III.
摘要:
Monoclonal antibodies are revealed which bind to the gp 120 protein on the envelope of HIV-1. These antibodies neutralize HIV-1. They inhibit the rate of infection of T cells, and also inhibit syncytium formation. Further, the antibodies are group-specific and neutralize different strains and isolates of HIV-1. These antibodies have a variety of uses, including the treatment and prevention of AIDS and ARC.

摘要:
The invention relates to epitopes which are present on B cell-bound but not secreted IgA, peptide segments which represent such epitopes, and DNA coding for these peptides. These extracellular peptide segments form, entirely or in part, antigenic epitopes unique to membrane-bound but not secreted IgA.
摘要:
A method of preparing simultaneously monoclonal antibodies specific for different cell-free products of activated human T lymphocytes is disclosed. Human T cells are activated in a medium supplemented with mouse serum rather than conventional calf serum. A supernatant prepared from the activated T cells is used to immunize mice. The dominant immunogens in the supernatant are the cell-free products of human T lymphocytes. The yield of hybrid cells which produce products reactive with cell-free products of human T lymphocytes is enhanced by injecting the immunized mice with a supernatant from mitogen-activated murine splenocytes. In addition, a novel radioimmunoadsorbent assay for screening hybrids to detect production of monoclonal antibodies reactive with cell-free products of human T lymphocytes is disclosed.
摘要:
Immunochemical assays for detection of antibodies against HTLV-III core proteins are described. The assays are based upon recombinant HTLV-III core proteins expressed by cloned DNA segments of the gag region of the HTLV-III genome. Immunoreactive, chimeric HTLV-III core proteins and methods of producing these proteins are also described.
