Abstract
This invention concerns methods for detecting the presence of an anti-HIV-1 antibody in a biological sample, the method comprising conducting an immunoassay comprising: (a) contacting the biological sample with at least one epitope that is recognized by the anti-HIV-1 antibody, wherein the contacting being under conditions sufficient to permit the anti-HIV-1 antibody if present in the sample to bind to the epitope and form an epitope-anti-HIV-1 antibody complex; (b) contacting the formed epitope-anti-HIV-1 antibody complex with an anti-HIV-1 antibody binding molecule, the contacting being under conditions sufficient to permit the anti- HIV-1 antibody binding molecule to bind to anti-HIV-1 antibody of the formed epitope-anti-HIV-1 antibody complex and form an extended complex; and (c) 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; the epitope being present on a peptide comprising SEQ ID No. 55.
