Immuno-reactivity of biotinylated HIV peptides derived from different clades using mice antisera against V3-gp41, gp41 and p17 peptides. Immunoreactivity of biotinylated HIV peptides using mice antisera raised against different HIV peptides. Titer of antisera was defined as the reciprocal of dilution which gave a mean absorbance of 0.5. Run was considered invalid if negative control gave a mean absorbance > 0.5.
