[Development and assessment of a new test for verification of tests for HIV-infection markers]

The OOO "Research-and-Production Association "Diagnostic Systems" has developed a "DC-EIA-HIV-AT/AG-SPECTRUM" screening enzyme immunoassay system designed to detect separately antibodies to certain HIV-1 and HIV-2 proteins, as well as antigen p24. The determination of antibodies of all classes and the marker of early-stage infection antigen p24 with a high (5 pg/ml) sensitivity substantially reduces the number of void results obtained in the use of immunoblots. The developed "DC-EIA-HIV-AT/AG-SPECTRUM" plate system is an effective tool to support positive screening results and may be used at the final stage of laboratory diagnosis of HIV infection.
