Abstract
The HIV* immunoblot profiles of 700 HIV-antibody-positive sera were examined to determine the frequency of antibody reactivity with p66/p51, the reverse transcriptase of HIV. We report a remarkably high seroprevalence of antibodies to p66/p51, detected in 79% of the sera. Only gp41 is recognized more frequently in these assays. The level of anti-p66/p51 seroreactivity varies only slightly among the clinical stages of HIV infection.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
