Abstract
The invention relates to a method for determining HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) specific antibodies. A sample is incubated with a solid phase, to which streptavidin is bound in a way to make 0.1-2.5 .mu.g streptavidin per ml of reaction volume available for binding, a biotinylated polypeptide, and a labelled receptor which binds to HIV specific antibodies. The biotinylated polypeptide contains at least one of the amino acid sequences ##STR1## and is from 7 to 50 amino acids long. Following complex formation onto the solid phase, solid and liquid phase are separated, and label is measured in one of these.
