A renal allograft recipient developed symptoms suggestive of AIDS. Serological studies revealed that the donor was positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Retrospective testing of stored sequential serum samples showed that the recipient was negative for HIV pretransplant; anti-p24 and anti-p41 antibodies appeared 10 and 49 days posttransplant, respectively. The recipient's serum beta 2-microglobulin levels were elevated 14 days posttransplant, with normal renal function, 35 days before the detection of anti-p24 antibody. p24 Antigen was detected for the first time 21 days posttransplant. In addition to p24 antigen, elevated serum beta 2-microglobulins may be a useful marker for HIV infection prior to seroconversion.

D001613 beta 2-Microglobulin An 11-kDa protein associated with the outer membrane of many cells including LYMPHOCYTES. It is the small subunit of MHC CLASS I MOLECULES. Association with beta 2-microglobulin is generally required for the transport of class I heavy chains from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface. Beta 2-microglobulin is present in small amounts in serum, CEREBROSPINAL FLUID, and urine of healthy individuals, and to a much greater degree in the urine and plasma of patients with tubular PROTEINURIA, renal failure, or kidney transplants.

D016655 HIV Core Protein p24 A major core protein of the human immunodeficiency virus encoded by the HIV gag gene. HIV-seropositive individuals mount a significant immune response to p24 and thus detection of antibodies to p24 is one basis for determining HIV infection by ELISA and Western blot assays. The protein is also being investigated as a potential HIV immunogen in vaccines.
