Applications:
May be used in ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for early detection of HIV seroconvertors with minimal specificity problems.

Description:
The E. coli derived recombinant protein is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain, containing the HIV-1 immunodominant regions from the p31 protein (intergrase) 9-289 amino acids, fused with a GST tag at N-terminus. HIV belongs to the retrovirus family, distinguished by possession of a viral reverse transcriptase that transcribes viral RNA into DNA which is integrated into the host-cell genome. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) integrase (IN), one of the three virally encoded enzymes required for HIV-1 replication, must covalently join the viral cDNA into a host chromosome for productive HIV infection.

Specificity: Immunoreactive with all sera of HIV-I infected individuals.
