Abstract:
An isolated polypeptide selected from the group consisting of:(a) a cell-surface glycoprotein of m.w. of about 160,000; (b) a cell-surface glycoprotein of m.w. of about 120,000; (c) a gag protein of m.w. of about 55,000; (d) a gag protein of m.w. of about 24,000; and (e) a glycoprotein of m.w of about 32,000; wherein said polypeptide has said molecular weight when produced by a cell infected with a strain of the SIV virus, said cell deposited as ATCC 8942 or ATCC 8943 and wherein said polypeptide is not an HIV-I polypeptide having the same molecular weight as said isolated polypeptide.
