Abstract
This invention relates to compositions and methods or the detection of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection by conducting an immunoassay comprising the steps of: (a) contacting a biological sample containing HIV-1 antibody with a peptide, having an epitope, of one or more of SEQ ID 49-56 to form a peptide-anti-HIV-1 antibody complex; (b) contacting the formed complex with an anti-HIV-1 antibody binding molecule to permit the anti-HIV-1 antibody binding molecule to bind to the anti-HIV-1 antibody of the formed peptide-anti-HIV-1 antibody complex and form an extended complex that is immobilized on a solid support; (c) removing unbound anti-HIV-1 antibody and anti-HIV-1 antibody binding molecule from the extended complex; and (d) determining the presence or concentration of the anti-HIV-1 antibody in the biological sample.
