We have investigated the feasibility and significance of subtyping of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) isolates with monoclonal antibodies (mAb) raised against the core proteins of HIV. A panel of 37 mAb tested for reactivity with HIV1 oligopeptides was used to analyse the antigenic relatedness among 14 HIV isolates which included 12 isolates of HIV1 from different geographical origins and 2 isolates of HIV2. Three out of these 37 mAb reacted with conserved epitopes expressed by all 14 HIV isolates tested. These reagents which included 2 mAb reacting with the 285-310 amino acid sequence of p25 and 1 mAb reacting with an epitope of p25 not mapped by the peptides' approach, also reacted with a non-human primate lentivirus. Five mAb reacting either with the 11-25 or 121-132 amino acid sequences of p17 or the 302-320 amino acid sequence of p25 reacted with strain-specific epitopes. The other 29 mAb reacted with polymorphic epitopes and thereby define subfamily and subtype-specific markers.
