An ultrasensitive enzyme immunoassay (immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay) of antibody immunoglobulin G (IgG) to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has been developed using recombinant HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (rRT) as antigen. However, some disadvantages were noted in the use of rRT as antigen: rRT was produced only with low efficiency in widely used strains of Escherichia coli using a rather long DNA fragment (3,012 bp) of the whole HIV-1 pol gene, and it was impossible to produce fusion proteins of RT for simple purification, since rRT is a heterodimer of p66 and p51. In this study, recombinant HIV-1 p51 and p66 with Ser-Ser at the N termini (Ser-Ser-rp51 and Ser-Ser-rp66) were produced in E. coli as fusion proteins with maltose binding protein containing a factor Xa site between the two proteins and were purified after digestion with factor Xa. Ser-Ser-rp51 was produced in larger amounts and purified in higher yields with less polymerization than Ser-Ser-rp66. Polymerized Ser-Ser-rp66 tended to be precipitated on mercaptoacetylation for conjugation to beta-D-galactosidase (used as a label) and showed higher nonspecific and lower specific signals in an immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay of antibody IgG to HIV-1 than Ser-Ser-rp51. The signals for serum samples of HIV-1-seropositive subjects by immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay of antibody IgG to HIV-1 using Ser-Ser-rp51 as antigen (Y) were well correlated to those obtained using rRT as antigen (X) (log Y = 0.99 log X + 0.23; r = 0.99). Thus, the use of rp51 as antigen was advantageous over that of rp66 and rRT in an immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay of antibody IgG to HIV-1.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
