Animals were sequentially immunized with recombinant gp120 (rgp120) from three different nonglycosylated isolates of HIV-1 (IIIB, SF2, and Z6). Spleen cells were fused with Sp2/0-Ag14 myeloma cells. 55-6 is one of a panel of antibodies developed by Dr. Suzanne Epstein that reacts with the gp120 of HIV-1. In ELISA the antibody reacts strongly with rgp120 IIIB and weakly to gp120 MN. It binds to the C1 region (positions 105 - 117) gp120 synthetic peptide used to map antibody reactivity and was not able to cross block any other antibodies in the panel. |
