Desarrollo de un ensayo sandwich de doble antígeno para la detección de anticuerpos contra el VIH-2 empleando un péptido sintético biotinilado de la proteína gp36

Thirty four samples with antibodies against HIV-2 were assessed as positive for both coating variants. The highest specificity was obtained with the variant using the synthetic peptide gp36(5) in its coating. The antigen 'sandwich' assay developed by using gp36(5)-B enables the detection of antibodies against gp36 protein of HIV-2
