Patent Title: Molecularly imprinted polymer for detecting HIV-1
Publication date: 2010
Publication number: WO/2010/121013
Abstract: The invention described herein provides molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) that are capable of binding to virus, and methods for detecting and/or identifying specific virus particles utilizing Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs). The virus particles of the invention include HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV-1, HTLV-2, HPV, HBV, and HCV. The methods of the invention comprise detecting all or part, including epitopes, of macromolecules associated with a virus. The macromolecules of the invention include proteins, glycoproteins (e.g., envelope glycoproteins), peptides, and polypeptides associated with said virus. The invention also provides for methods of diagnosing a subject infected with a virus utilizing MIPs, in addition to diagnostic kits.
