Detection of anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) immunoglobulin G in urine by an ultrasensitive enzyme immunoassay (immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay) with recombinant reverse transcriptase as an antigen.

چکیده
Anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 immunoglobulin G in urine was detected by an immunoassay with reverse transcriptase as the antigen and beta-D-galactosidase as the label; this immunoassay was 30-fold more sensitive than the previous immunoassay with peroxidase as the label. The sensitivity and specificity were both 100%. The lowest signal for asymptomatic carriers was 20-fold higher than the highest signal for seronegative subjects.

Recombinant p51 as antigen in an immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay of immunoglobulin G antibody to human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
An ultrasensitive enzyme immunoassay (immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay) of antibody immunoglobulin G (IgG) to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has been developed using recombinant HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (rRT) as antigen. However, some disadvantages were noted in the use of rRT as antigen: rRT was produced only with low efficiency in widely used strains of Escherichia c...

For earlier diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, the sensitivities of immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassays for HIV-1 p24 antigen and antibody immunoglobulin G (IgG) to HIV-1 p17 antigen were improved approximately 25- and 90-fold, respectively, over those of the previous immunoassays by performing solid-phase immunoreactions with shaking and increasing the ...
متن کاملUltrasensitive retrovirus detection by a reverse transcriptase assay based on product enhancement.
Reverse transcriptase (RT) is an indispensable component of infectious retroviruses. We have developed an ultrasensitive RT test in which RNA of bacteriophage MS2 serves as the template for RT-mediated cDNA synthesis. A fragment of the cDNA is selectively amplified by polymerase chain reaction and the amplification product is analyzed by Southern blot hybridization or enzyme immunoassay. The pr...
متن کاملDetection of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that recognize conformational epitopes of glycoproteins 160 and 41 often allows for early diagnosis of HIV infection.
On the basis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) needlestick studies, the time to seroconversion for anti-HIV antibodies is 1-9 months (mean, approximately 2-3 months). However, an earlier marker of an immune response to HIV often occurs-serum anti-HIV antibodies reactive with live HIV-infected cells, termed "early HIV antibodies." The specificities of these antibodies are characterized by th...

Sequential plasma samples obtained from 16 individuals who seroconverted were tested for the presence of antibody to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) by an antigen conjugate enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and a conventional antibody conjugate assay. In 11 of these individuals, the antigen conjugate assay detected antibody to HIV-1 2 to 11 days (mean, 5.5 days) earlier than the antibody con...
