Abstract
This invention relates to compositions and methods for the detection of HIV-1 antibodies employing polypeptides obtained from the Gag-p6 protein, the method comprising the steps of: (a) contacting a biological sample with a peptide having an epitope that is recognized by the anti-HIV-1 antibody where the contacting is under conditions sufficient to permit anti-HIV-1 present in the sample to bind to the epitope and form a peptide-anti-HIV-1 antibody complex; (b) contacting the formed peptide-anti-HIV-1 antibody complex with an anti-HIV-1 antibody binding molecule under conditions sufficient to permit the anti-HIV-1 antibody binding molecule to bind to anti-HIV-1 antibody of the formed peptide-anti-HIV-1 antibody complex and form an extended complex; said extended complex being immobilized on a solid support; and (c) removing unbound antibody from said extended complex; and (d) determining the presence or concentration of the anti-HIV-1 antibody in the biological sample by determining the presence or concentration of the formed extended complex.
