ABSTRACT:
A synthetic peptide antigen corresponding to a region of the glycoprotein gp41 encoded by the env gene of HIV-2 is provided. The peptide which is immunologically reactive with HIV-2 specific antibodies is useful in assays for detection of HIV-2 infection or exposure and in compositions to elicit the production of antibodies against HIV-2 in animals including man.
