Abstract excerpt
The specificities of antibodies reacting with peptides encoded by V3 loop apical epitopes were determined for sera from 230 seropositive Ugandans, including asymptomatic persons and AIDS patients, sampled between 1986 and 1992. Most (71%) of the sera reacted with the peptide encoded by HIV-MN, 59...
