 | | combining a body fluid from a human host with a monoclonal antibody that binds to an antigen that is present only when said infection is present, said antigen being selected from the group consisting of a 28 kilodalton antigen, a 39 kilodalton antigen, a 49 kilodalton antigen, and a 52 kilodalton antigen, and present, and |
 | | It was determined that the antibody 3D8 binds to a reverse trranscriptase of 55 kilodaltons and 65 kilodatons (p55 and p65), a core protein of 24 kilodaltons (p24), a glycoprotein envelope antigen of 41 kilodaltons (gp41), and one undefined protein of 39 kilodaltons, (p39). |
 | | The antigens designated p55 and p65, the core protein antigen p24, and the glycoprotein envelope antigen gp41 have been described in Science (1986) 231: 1289-1291. |
