Inhibitory antibodies to the reverse transcriptase (RT) of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) can be used to block the life cycle of the virus. We have isolated five different human single chain Fv (ScFv) antibodies specific for HIV-1 RT from an antibody phage display library. Three of thes
## Abstract A blocking ELISA was developed to confirm the specificity of screening tests for antiβHIVβ1 antibodies. A murine monoclonal antibody (McAb) raised against recombinant gp 160 was used in combination with a commercial technique (ELAVIAβ1). After determining the optimal experimental condit
Detection of antibodies to single HIV-1 proteins was performed by modified Western-blotting procedure. The use of [35S]-Streptavidin instead of Avidin-peroxidase conjugate greatly enhances the sensitivity of the method and enables useful quantitative analysis of results.
