Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the spread of antibodies to V3 loop peptides of two chimpanzee lentiviruses and the divergent HIV-1ANT-70 isolate (group O) in human sera from different geographic regions, and to compare this with reactions to peptides from known North American (subtype B) and Zaïrean (subtype D) strains. METHODS: A total 2495 HIV-1-antibody-positive sera from nine countries were tested by enzyme-linked...
