USE OF ANTIBODIES AGAINST BETA -2 MICROGLOBULIN-FREE, CLASS I HLA MOLECULES TO PROVIDE HIV DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AS WELL AS COMPOSITIONS HAVING A PROTECTIVE ACTION AGAINST HIV INFECTIONS

摘要

Use of an antibody able to detect both epitopes of HIV gp160 protein and of beta 2-microglobulin free Class I HLA FHC, to provide a diagnostic test to detect the HIV infection in an analyte which is negative for the presence of specific anti-HIV antibodies, and for the preparation of a composition which is able to provide a passive immunity against HIV infections.
