[Use of an immune blotting method (western) for studying viral antigens and for detecting antibodies to viral proteins].
The technique of the procedure and the results of the use of immune ("western") blotting method for studies on viral antigens and detection of antibodies to individual proteins of viral particles are described. The possibility of detection and study of individual viral antigens in the whole plasma of patients or carriers is demonstrated by the example of HBs antigen of human hepatitis B virus. The method of immune blotting was used for screening of human sera for the detection of antibodies to the AIDS virus proteins. The sera under study positive for antibodies to AIDS virus by preliminary solid-phase enzyme-immunoassay were shown to contain actually the antibodies to different proteins of AIDS virus. The antibody levels to individual AIDS virus proteins varied in different sera. Some sera positive for antibodies to AIDS virus by the solid-phase enzyme-immunoassay contained no antibody to AIDS virus proteins but reacted with cellular proteins present in the antigen. The immune blotting method was also used for determinations of the spectrum of antibodies in animal sera produced by immunization with different viral antigens.
