Enzyme
immunoassay for the detection of antibodies to Hhuman Immunodeficiency
Virus of 1 and 2 types (HIV-1, HIV-2)
|
 |
Principle of the method: «sandwich» ELISA
Clinical materials: human serum or plasma
Detection of total viral specific IgG, IgM, IgA antibodies at the early stages of HIV-infection
Recombinant proteins
– analogues of HIV-1 antigens: env-1 (gp120, gp41), gag-1 (p24,
p17) and HIV-2: env-2 (gp36) are part of immunosorbent and peroxidase
conjugate
Packing configuration:
- Strip (lockwell) or monolith microplate
- 96 or 192 tests
- TMB chromogen
Incubation time: 2 hours
Shelf life: 15 months
