- Monoclonal antibodies

- Polyclonal antibodies

- Disease state human plasma

- Purified native and recombinant human proteins

 

Aalto Bio Reagents provides a range of “do-it-yourself (DIY)” research assay protocols for detection of HIV-1 p24gag and HIV-1 gp120env. These DIY ELISA assays are being widely used by AIDS research laboratories in Europe, the United States, Australia, Africa and China for monitoring HIV-1 replication in a range of research applications. 

HIV-1 p24 gag

Three different DIY ELISA protocols are available with varying ranges of sensitivity for detection of HIV-1 p24gag. These assays use our affinity purified anti-HIV-1 p24gag, code D7320, as the capture element. Our biotinylated conjugate or alkaline phosphatase conjugate of MAb to HIV-1 p24gag, respective codes BC1071-BIOT and BC1071-AP, are used as label, together with appropriate detection systems.   

HIV-1 gp120 env

Demand for our affinity purified anti-HIV-1 gp120env, code D7324 continues to grow among AIDS research laboratories. We have available a DIY ELISA protocol for detection of HIV-1 gp120env incorporating code D7324 as the capture antibody. The captured gp120 protein is recognised at a separate site by a second antibody that is, in turn, detected using a third, enzyme labelled,anti-antibody.
