Abstract
A murine monoclonal antibody which specifically binds to a glycoprotein antigen having a molecular weight of about 12.times.10.sup.4 daltons (gp120) present in the envelope of human T-lymphotropic virus III.sub.MN (HTLV-III.sub.MN) and capable of neutralizing the HTLV-III.sub.MN as determined by in vitro inhibition of syncytium formation but does not bind to other HTLV-III strains, or antigen-binding fragments, which is useful for prophylaxis, treatment and diagnosis of AIDS.
