Laboratory

HTLV I and II Ab band pattern [Interpretation] in Serum or Plasma

Definition

This assay uses antigens that are either recombinant proteins or synthetic peptides selected to detect antibodies with a wide specificity to known isolates of the HTLV strains. Two gag (p19 I/II, p24 I/II) and two env (gp46 I/II, gp21 I/II) bands are used as non-type- specific antigens, to confirm the presence of HTLV I/II antibodies. Type-specific antigens for HTLV-I (gag p19-I, env gp46-I) and for HTLV-II (env gp46-II), distinguish HTLV-I and HTLV-II infections. There are four control lines: one negative control (streptavidin), and three positive control lines. This term was created for the submitter's INNO-LIA HTLV I/II Score, a Line Immune Assay.
