RESUMO
Mouse monoclonal antibodies were produced against simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) from the African green monkey (SIVAGM). The antibodies reacted with the transmembrane protein of all five SIVAGM isolates but not with those of SIVs from the rhesus macaque and mandrill or of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 or type 2, indicating that they recognize a species-specific epitope strongly conserved in SIVAGM. The transmembrane proteins of several SIVAGM isolates were found to vary in molecular size, even in the deglycosylated form after N-glycanase treatment, indicating heterogeneity of the SIVAGM isolates.
