HIV GP160 AIDS VIRUS ENVELOPE PROTEIN-CONTAINING STRIPS AND USE THEREOF FOR DETECTION OF AIDS ANTIBODY

摘要

Nitrocellulose strips having recombinant HIV envelope glycoprotein, HIV gp160, spotted and fixed thereon are useful for the detection of antibody to AIDS virus (HIV). A dye, such as coomassie blue, non-covalently attached to the glycoprotein and to the strip is usefully associated with the glycoprotein to identify the location of the glycoprotein spotted and fixed to the strip.
