SYNTHESIS AND COMPARATIVE-ANALYSIS OF ANT IGENIC ACTIVITY OF PEPTIDESCORRESPONDING TO VARIOUS GENOMIC SEQUENCES OF THE HUMAN-IMMUNODEFICIENCY-VIRUS TYPE-1 GP120 SURFACE GLYCOPROTEIN HYPERVARIABLE-V3 DOMAIN
Ya. Semiletov et al., SYNTHESIS AND COMPARATIVE-ANALYSIS OF ANT IGENIC ACTIVITY OF PEPTIDESCORRESPONDING TO VARIOUS GENOMIC SEQUENCES OF THE HUMAN-IMMUNODEFICIENCY-VIRUS TYPE-1 GP120 SURFACE GLYCOPROTEIN HYPERVARIABLE-V3 DOMAIN, Bioorganiceskaa himia, 20(10), 1994, pp. 1070-1079
A set of peptides (amino acid positions 10-23) corresponding to seven
most widely spread variants of the gp120 V3 domain in the HIV-infected
population of South Russia were prepared by the solid-phase synthesis
. A laboratory variant of the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent ass
ay (ELISA) was developed for the determination of V3 specific antibodi
es with use of the peptides synthesized. The analysis of the V3-specif
ic antibodies in HIV-infected using the elaborated test-system reveale
d a correlation between the V3 variants distribution and the occurrenc
e of antibodies against these variants.
