LaboratoryHIV 1 and 2 IgG Ab [Identifier] in Serum or Plasma by Immunoblot
Definition
This assay differentiates between HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections and is intended as a supplementary assay on specimens found to be reactive using an anti-HIV screening procedure. Five HIV-1 antigens are used in the testing: sgp120 and gp41, which detect HIV-1 specific antibodies, and p31, p24, and p17, which may also cross-react with antibodies to HIV-2. HIV-1 group O peptides are present in the HIV-1 sgp120 band. The antigens gp36 and sgp105 are used to detect HIV-2 antibodies. This term was created for, but not termed in use to, the submitter's INNO-LIA™ HIV I/II Score test kit, which is a line immunoassay, to confirm the presence of antibodies against the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), including group O, and type 2 (HIV-2) in human serum or plasma.
