HIV-1 Gag p24 antigen is a capsid protein that constitutes the core of HIV-I. P24 protein is detectable starting from the early stage of AIDS virus infection, for this reason it is an interesting marker for disease progression in infected patients. Monoclonal anti p24 antibody clone 2 is designed for the detection of p24 core antigen in human serum or plasma from infected individuals as well as in cell culture supernatant.
Purification
Antibodies are purified from supernatants of hybridoma cell cultures by affinity chromatography.
