By Western blot, anti-HIV-1 p24 antibody detects a ~24 kDa, a ~41 kDa, and a ~55 kDa protein, corresponding to HIV-1 p24 and to its precursors p41 and p55, respectively, in HIV-1 samples.
Purification
HIV-1 p24 antibody is supplied as protein A purified IgG1.
Immunogen
Mouse monoclonal HIV-1 p24 antibody was raised against a recombinant full-length HIV-1 p24 protein.
HIV-1 p24 Monoclonal Antibody: The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) particle consists of an envelope, a core and the region between the two termed matrix (1). The HIV-1 Gag protein is a late structural protein that contains four proteins: matrix (p17), capsid (p24), nucleocapsid (p7) and the p6 protein (2). The p24 constitutes the major core component of the virus and shows high degree of sequence conservation among HIV isolates. The Gag p24 has been used as an integral part of multicomponent HIV-1 vaccines (3).
