Abstract
The identification, separation, purification, and propagation of the HIV-1 virus is provided. Moreover, the preparation of antigens from HIV-1 is further provided. The identification of HIV-1 involves the purification of a virus sample from lymphocytes and contacting the sample with antibodies, which bind to HIV-1 viruses, is provided. The propagation of HIV-1 virus involves infecting uninfected T lymphocytes with the virus. Moreover, the preparation of antigens from HIV-1 involves the separation of protein components of a purified HIV-1 virus under denaturing conditions.
