Abstract
The entire and partial gag regions of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) were overproduced in Escherichia coli and used for epitope mapping of antibodies against p17. We found that a mouse monoclonal antibody to p17, V17 recognizes the mature p17 but not the unprocessed Gag proteins containing the entire p17 moiety. Further analysis revealed that V17 recognizes the C-terminal 12-amino-acid region of p17 having free C-terminus. This monoclonal antibody may be useful for monitoring the maturation of virus particles.Entities:
