Abstract
A single isolated antibody or antibody fragment thereof binds to multiple variant sequences within an epitope of HIV-1 Tat protein displayed in multiple strains and subtypes of HIV-1. This 'pan-epitope' antibody is useful in therapeutic and prophylactic compositions and treatments of HIV-1 infection, regardless of strain. This pan-epitope antibody is useful in assays for the detection of levels of HIV-1 based on a measurement of the amount of Tat protein in a biological sample.
