Resumen
PEREZ GUEVARA, María Teresa et al. Determinación de anticuerpos al virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana tipo 1 (VIH-1) en muestras de sangre seca en papel de filtro. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 1998, vol.50, n.2, pp. 93-95. ISSN 1561-3054.
The possibility of detecting HIV-1 antibodies by an inmunoblotting kit is studied in a panel of 125 known specimens of dried blood spotted on filter paper and their corresponding serum samples. No differences were observed in the patterns of bands with both types of samples or in the sensitivity and specificity, where 100 % figures were attained, allowing to conclude that the blood specimen taken on filter paper may be used for the detection of HIV-1 antibodies by the DAVIH-BLOT system and may be kept at 4 oC during 30 weeks.
