Abstract

LOPEZ, GRICEL; SILVA, CARLOS  and  BENITEZ, JESÚS. Detección de anticuerpos al VIH en mezclas de sueros. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 1997, vol.49, n.1, pp.32-37. ISSN 0375-0760.

The use of sera mixtures for the detection of HIV antibodies was studied in a population of low prevalence (0,006 %), using the diagnosis systems of national production: Recombinant HIV UMELISA and RECHIV 1 + 2. The systems were evaluated with individual samples aned mixtures of 5 and 10 sera from sound blood donors and from HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 positive and undetermined persons. It was observed that the utilization of mixtures of 10 sera is not feasible; however, the use of mixtures of 5 affects neither the specificity nor the sensitivity of the systems studied.

Keywords : HIV ANTIBODIES [blood]; AIDS SERODIAGNOSIS [methods].
