Abstract

The sequences encoding the p24 core protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 were identified in a cDNA library made from infected CEM cells. The nucleotide sequence of the DNA coding for p24 was shown to be very similar but not identical to the sequences of lymphadenopathy virus and human T-cell leukaemia virus type IIIb. These sequences were expressed in Escherichia coli at the amino terminus of beta-galactosidase and used to screen a panel of monoclonal antibodies raised against virus-expressed p24. Regions containing the epitopes of five of the monoclonal antibodies were located using a series of amino- and carboxy-terminal deletion mutants of the recombinant p24 protein.
