| Popis: | A passive hemagglutination test (PHA) was developed for detecting antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) utilizing sheep erythrocytes cross-linked with purified envelope glycoprotein (gp160) of HIV-1. In an analysis of 216 human serum samples, 100% correlation was observed in 86 reactive and 124 nonreactive serum samples between PHA and commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and Western blot (immunoblot) analysis. Serum samples from gp160-immunized chimpanzees also reacted equally well in PHA. The test is simple, rapid, and inexpensive, thus providing an alternate, quick method of detecting HIV antibodies. These advantages and the thermal stability of the reagents that are used make this an attractive alternative for detecting prior exposure of individuals to HIV-1. |
