Oligopeptides comprising p18 protein of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) , compositions comprising peptides of p18 protein of HIV, and diagnostic kits and methods for detecting acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)

摘要

Protein compositions containing the p18 and p25 proteins of the lymphadenopathy virus are used for detecting antibodies in blood serum as indicative of infection by such virus. The proteins can be used in various conventional ways to perform immunoassays for the detection of the antibodies.
