Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Virology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Accurate Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtype identification is crucial for effective disease management and epidemiological surveillance.
  • Existing methods for HIV-1 genotyping can be complex and time-consuming, necessitating the development of more efficient and specific assays.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a prototype Solid Phase Plate Assay (SPPA) for the detection and genotyping of HIV-1 subtypes.
  • To assess the specificity, reproducibility, and clinical applicability of the developed SPPA for HIV-1 subtyping.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a PCR-based capture hybridization assay utilizing subtype-specific oligonucleotide probes targeting the HIV-1 envelope (env) gene.
  • Oligonucleotide probes were covalently bound to microplates, and PCR amplicons were detected colorimetrically using a microplate reader.

  • Validated the assay with well-characterized HIV-1 reference controls and clinical plasma samples of known and unknown subtypes.

    • Main Results:

    • The SPPA demonstrated high specificity, with reference controls hybridizing exclusively to their corresponding probes and negligible cross-hybridization observed.
    • The assay unambiguously identified major HIV-1 subtypes from Group M and Group O.
    • SPPA showed good performance and reproducibility when tested with clinical samples.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed Solid Phase Plate Assay (SPPA) is a highly specific and reliable method for detecting and genotyping HIV-1 subtypes.
    • This assay offers a valuable tool for subtyping HIV-1 infected individuals, aiding in disease management and public health strategies.
