Abstract
Convalescent plasma therapy holds promise as a transient treatment for COVID-19. Yet, blood products are important sources of HIV infection in low- and middle-income nations. Great care must be taken to prevent plasma therapy from fueling HIV epidemics in the developing world.

Abstract
A simple and efficient method for expression in Escherichia coli and purification of matrix protein, p17, of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) of both B- and C-subtypes is described. DNA sequences encoding p17 of B- and C-subtype were cloned from respective gag sequences. The gag sequences were obtained by PCR amplification using DNA extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes of an HIV-1 infected patient from India. A T7-promoter-based expression system was optimized for expression of p17 in soluble form. p17 (B- and C-subtype) was purified to near homogeneity using conventional chromatographic techniques. Purification of p17 (C-subtype) is described for the first time with yield of 7.7 mg from a 1-liter culture. The yield of p17 (B-subtype) is 14.7 mg from a 1-liter culture, which is severalfold better than that reported earlier. N-terminal sequencing and CD spectra of the purified proteins, p17B and p17C, show that the proteins are properly processed and well-folded. The immunoreactivity of both types of p17 to sera from HIV-infected individuals is comparable.

Abstract
Contemporary techno-scientific and medical developments are restructuring social interactions and the very processes by which individual subjectivity is formed. This essay elaborates on the experiential and ethical impact of such transformations from the perspective of people who, in ordinary and unexpected ways, act science and technology out. We carried out ethnographic research in an HIV/AIDS Testing and Counseling Center (CTA) in northeastern Brazil, combining participant observation with epidemiological analyses and clinical survey. We found a high demand for free testing by low-risk clients, largely working and middle class, experiencing anxiety and complaining of AIDS-like symptoms. Most of the clients were sero-negative and many returned for a second and third testing. We understand this to be a new techno-cultural phenomenon and call it imaginary AIDS. Throughout this essay, we describe CTA's routine practices, place these practices in historical, political, economic and cross-cultural perspective, and analyze the subjective data we collected from the clients of our pilot study. We explore how clinical epidemiological expertise and HIV testing technology are integrated into new forms of bio-politics aimed at specific marketable and disease-free populations, and on the affective absorption of bio-technical truth and the engendering of a technoneurosis in this testing center.

Earlier detection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 p24 antigen and immunoglobulin G and M antibodies to p17 antigen in seroconversion serum panels by immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassays.

Abstract
For earlier diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, the sensitivities of immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassays for HIV-1 p24 antigen and antibody immunoglobulin G (IgG) to HIV-1 p17 antigen were improved approximately 25- and 90-fold, respectively, over those of the previous immunoassays by performing solid-phase immunoreactions with shaking and increasing the serum sample volumes, and immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay of antibody IgM to p17 antigen was also performed in the same way as the improved immunoassay of antibody IgG to p17 antigen. By the improved immunoassays, p24 antigen and antibody IgG to p17 antigen were detected earlier in 32 and 53%, respectively, of the HIV-1 seroconversion serum panels tested than before the improvements, and p24 antigen was detected as early as or earlier than HIV-1 RNA by reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR) in all of the panels tested. In 4 panels out of 19 tested, antibody IgG to p17 antigen or both antibodies IgG and IgM to p17 antigen were detected earlier than p24 antigen and RNA, although the antibody levels declined slightly before their steep increases usually observed after p24 antigen and RNA. Thus, the window period in diagnosis of HIV-1 infection can be shortened by detection of p24 antigen with the improved immunoassay as much as by detection of RNA with RT-PCR and, in some cases, more by detection of antibodies IgG and IgM to p17 antigen with the improved immunoassays than by detections of p24 antigen with the improved immunoassay and RNA with RT-PCR.

Abstract
An HIV-1 p24 capture enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed and used in a study of B-cell epitopes in rabbits immunised with different gag p24 antigens. Rabbits were immunised with virion HIV-1/Lai, baculovirus recombinant p24, Escherichia coli recombinant p24-15 and a mixture of synthetic peptides representing sequences of HIV-1 gag p24 protein, respectively. Five out of nine rabbits developed antibodies that could be used for an antigen capture ELISA. No significant differences in IgG titers to the whole gag protein were seen when comparing rabbits immunised with four different antigens. Three major common linear epitope regions were mapped in the rabbits immunised with virion HIV-1/Lai and baculovirus recombinant p24. The rabbit immunised with HIV-1 gag peptides had the broadest linear epitope reactive responses whereas animals immunised with E. coli recombinant antigen had the most restricted linear epitope response. The capture ELISA method thus developed using the different rabbit anti-p24 IgG preparations was shown to capture isolates from HIV-1 subtypes or clades A to G. Only rabbits immunised with virion HIV-1/Lai and baculovirus recombinant p24 developed IgG that was capable of efficiently capturing HIV-1 p24 in ELISA, indicating the importance of preparing antibodies able to recognise native or discontinuous and linear antigen configurations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Efavirenz is a nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). We compared two regimens containing efavirenz, one with a protease inhibitor and the other with two nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors, with a standard three-drug regimen. METHODS The study subjects were 450 patients who had not previously been treated with lamivudine or any nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor or protease inhibitor. In this open-label study, patients were randomly assigned to one of three regimens: efavirenz (600 mg daily) plus zidovudine (300 mg twice daily) and lamivudine (150 mg twice daily); the protease inhibitor indinavir (800 mg every eight hours) plus zidovudine and lamivudine; or efavirenz plus indinavir (1000 mg every eight hours). RESULTS Suppression of plasma HIV-1 RNA to undetectable levels was achieved in more patients in the group given efavirenz plus nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors than in the group given indinavir plus nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (70 percent vs. 48 percent, P<0.001). The efficacy of the regimen of efavirenz plus indinavir was similar (53 percent) to that of the regimen of indinavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine. CD4 cell counts increased significantly with all combinations (range of increases, 180 to 201 cells per cubic millimeter). More patients discontinued treatment because of adverse events in the group given indinavir and two nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors than in the group given efavirenz and two nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (43 percent vs. 27 percent, P=0.005). CONCLUSIONS As antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1-infected adults, the combination of efavirenz, zidovudine, and lamivudine has greater antiviral activity and is better tolerated than the combination of indinavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine.

Abstract
In the immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay previously reported, the immune complex consisting of 2,4-dinitrophenyl-biotinyl-bovine serum albumin-affinity-purified rabbit anti-HIV-1 p24 Fab' conjugate, HIV-1 p24 antigen and monoclonal mouse anti-HIV-1 p24 Fab'-beta-D-galactosidase conjugate was trapped on polystyrene beads coated directly with affinity-purified (anti-2,4-dinitrophenyl group) IgG and was transferred to polystyrene beads coated with biotinyl-bovine serum albumin and streptavidin. The serum volume used was limited to 10 microL due to serious serum interference, and the detection limit of HIV-1 p24 antigen was 240 fg/mL serum. In the present study, HIV-1 p24 antigen was incubated simultaneously with 2,4-dinitrophenyl-affinity-purified rabbit anti-HIV-1 p24 IgG and monoclonal mouse anti-HIV-1 p24 Fab'-beta-D-galactosidase conjugate in the presence of excess nonspecific rabbit IgG. The immune complex of the three components formed was trapped on polystyrene beads coated successively with biotinyl-bovine serum albumin, streptavidin and biotinyl-affinity-purified (anti-2,4-dinitrophenyl group) Fab'. After washing, the immune complex was eluted from the polystyrene beads with excess epsilonN-2,4-dinitrophenyl-L-lysine and transferred to polystyrene beads coated with affinity-purified goat (antirabbit IgG) IgG. The serum volume used was increased to 90 microL with only slight serum interference, and the detection limit of HIV-1 p24 antigen was lowered 9-fold to 26 fg/mL serum.

Abstract
The immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay for antibody IgM to HIV-1 p17 antigen is described. Serum samples containing antibody IgM to HIV-1 p17 antigen were incubated simultaneously with 2,4-dinitrophenyl-bovine serum albumin-recombinant p17 (rp17) conjugate and rp17-beta-D-galactosidase conjugate, and the immune complex formed comprising the three components was trapped onto colored polystyrene beads coated with affinity-purified (anti-2,4-dinitrophenyl group) IgG. Subsequently, the immune complex was transferred to white polystyrene beads coated with monoclonal mouse (antihuman IgM) IgG in the presence of excess of epsilonN-2,4-dinitrophenyl-L-lysine. The signal for antibody IgM to p17 antigen was the fluorescence intensity by fluorometric assay of beta-D-galactosidase activity bound to the white polystyrene beads. The periods of time required for the formation, trapping, and transferring of the immune complex comprising the three components were more than 4 hr, 2 hr, and 3 hr, respectively. The immunoassay developed was shown to be specific by inhibition of transferring the immune complex in the presence of excess of nonspecific IgM but not IgG. Signals for antibody IgM to p17 antigen with serum samples of HIV-1 seroconversion serum panels,--that is, with serum samples in early stages of the infection--tended to be higher than those with serum samples from HIV-1 asymptomatic carriers probably long after the infection and patients with ARC and AIDS. In contrast, signals for antibody IgG to p17 antigen with serum samples of HIV-1 seroconversion serum panels tended to be higher than signals for antibody IgM to p17 antigen but were much lower than signals for antibody IgG to p17 antigen with serum samples from HIV-1 asymptomatic carriers and patients with ARC and AIDS.

Abstract
In the immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay for HIV-1 p24 antigen, different preparations of anti-p24 Fab'-beta-D-galactosidase conjugate, various periods of time for immunoreactions involved, and shaking for incubations with polystyrene beads were tested. On the basis of the results of these experiments, p24 antigen was measured as follows. The antigen was reacted simultaneously with 2,4-dinitrophenyl-biotinyl-bovine serum albumin-affinity-purified rabbit anti-p24 Fab' conjugate and highly polymerized monoclonal mouse anti-p24 Fab'-beta-D-galactosidase conjugate at 37 degrees C for 2 hr. The immune complex formed comprising the three components was trapped onto colored polystyrene beads coated with affinity-purified (anti-2,4-dinitrophenyl group) IgG for 1.5 hr and was transferred to white polystyrene beads coated with streptavidin in the presence of epsilon N-2,4-dinitrophenyl-L-lysine for 1.5 hr. The incubations with polystyrene beads were performed at room temperature with shaking. beta-D-Galactosidase activity bound to the white polystyrene beads was assayed by fluorometry at 30 degrees C for 2 hr. The detection limit of p24 antigen (0.1 amol/tube and 10 amol (0.24 pg)/ml of serum) was equal to that obtained when the formation, trapping, and transferring of the immune complex were performed for 4, 16, and 3 hr, respectively, by incubation without shaking. Namely, the period of time required for the immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay of p24 antigen was markedly shortened (25.5-7 hr) without loss of the sensitivity. By the improved immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay, p24 antigen was detected 12-20 days earlier than the detection of antibodies to HIV-1, i.e., seroconversion by the conventional ELISA.

Abstract
In the previous immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay for antibody IgG to p17 of HIV-1, the immune complex comprising 2,4-dinitrophenyl-bovine serum albumin-recombinant p17 conjugate, anti-p17 IgG, and recombinant p17-beta-D-galactosidase conjugate was trapped onto polystyrene beads coated with (anti-2,4-dinitrophenyl group) IgG by overnight incubation and was transferred to polystyrene beads coated with (antithuman IgG gamma-chain) IgG by 3 hr incubation in the presence of excess of epsilon N-2,4-dinitrophenyl-L-lysine. These processes were made efficient by incubation with shaking and by using solid phases with larger surface areas. In addition, the volume of serum samples used was increased from 10 microliters to 100 microliters. As a result, the sensitivity was improved 20-30-fold and was approximately 100,000-fold higher than that of Western blotting for p17 band, even when both trapping and transferring of the immune complex were performed for only 30 min. Furthermore, testing many samples became easily possible with higher sensitivity using microplates and a fluororeader.

Abstract
In order to perform the immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassays for HIV-1 p24 antigen and antibody IgGs to HIV-1 p17, reverse transcriptase and gp41 antigens as rapidly as possible, methods for rapid formation of the immune complexes on solid phase are described. HIV-1 p24 antigen was reacted with monoclonal anti-p24 Fab'-beta-D-galactosidase conjugate at a high concentration and subsequently with polystyrene beads coated successively with affinity-purified (anti-2,4-dinitrophenyl group) IgG and 2,4-dinitrophenyl-biotinyl bovine serum albumin-affinity-purified anti-p24 Fab' conjugate. Antibody IgGs to HIV-1 were reacted with polystyrene beads coated successively with affinity-purified (anti-2,4-dinitrophenyl group) IgG and 2,4-dinitrophenyl-HIV-1 antigen conjugates and subsequently with HIV-1 antigen-beta-D-galactosidase conjugates. The periods of time used for the formation of the immune complexes comprising the three components on the polystyrene beads (15-30 min) were much shorter than those used in the previous immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassays (90-300 min), and the sensitivities of the present and previous immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassays were similar. The detection limit of the HIV-1 p24 antigen by the present and previous methods were similar (3 to 10 zmol/assay).

Abstract
Clinical trial results from 11,344 paired urine and serum samples revealed 1,181 HIV-1-positive individuals confirmed by western blot (WB). There were 25 discrepant samples: 10 were urine enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and WB positive, serum non-reactive and serum WB negative or indeterminate, and 15 were serum EIA and WB positive, urine EIA non-reactive or urine WB negative or indeterminate. Serum samples, HIV-1 antibody WB confirmed, revealed a 99.15% sensitivity (1,171 out of 1,181); urine samples, HIV-1 antibody WB confirmed, showed a 98.73% sensitivity (1,166 out of 1,181). This study demonstrated that neither serum nor urine results alone are as sensitive for HIV-1 antibody detection as combined results of both samples.
