HIV-1 gp41, HIV-2 gp36, HIV-0 Composite Antigen

Articles related to this product A Simple Saliva-Based Test for Detecting Antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus This study was performed to determine the feasibility of using saliva as a diagnostic medium for the detection of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and HIV-2 under nonlaboratory conditions and to evaluate the performance characteristics of such a test.  Saliva test strips. The test strips used for this study were lateral-flow immunochromatography devices. Two synthetic peptides representing highly conserved regions of viral transmembrane glycoproteins gp41 and gp36 were used to capture antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2, respectively. These two antigens are identical to those used in similar test strips designed for use with serum and whole blood.
