Monoclonal antibodies which recognize core proteins of lymphadenopathy-associated-viruses (LAV) and the hybridomas which secrete them. Monoclonal antibodies which recognize LAV p13, p18, p25 and p55 proteins are disclosed. Said monoclonal antibodies are useful in detecting the corresponding proteins or polypeptides in mixtures which contain them. When said antibodies are immobilized on an insoluble support, they can be used for the purification of the corresponding polypeptides from mixtures which contain them. |
