The present disclosure relates to synthetic peptides derived from the conserved region of the HTLVIII envelope proteins. These peptides are useful as reagents for immunoassays for detection of AIDS antibodies, as components of immunogenic compositions useful as vaccines, and for the production of anti-bodies selective to said envelope protein and methods for detecting the presence of AIDS antibodies in biological fluid samples.
