Antigenicity of 13 synthetic HIV peptides were tested by ELISA. The results indicated that CH-10 was the most antigenetic peptide as compared with CH-10a and CH-12a. An 80 micrograms/ml concentration of HIV peptide was best. Similarities were found by comparing CH-10 peptide with the Organon test kit. The results showed that synthetic HIV-peptide may be a substitute for HIV virus or recombinant HIV antigen for the detection of HIV-antibody in serum.
