RIBAS ANTUNEZ, María de los Ángeles et al. Evaluación de un ELISA para la detección de anticuerpos contra la proteína p24 del VIH-1. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 1999, vol.51, n.2, pp. 130-132. ISSN 1561-3054.

DAVIH AC p24 kit for detecting anti p24 antibodies of HIV-1, worked out by the National Laboratory of Reference of AIDS (Labor-1, Cuba) is assessed and results are compared to those of the Western Blot technique (DAVIH-B1ot, Labor-1, Cuba). 191 samples from HIV positive patients at various stages of the disease were analyzed. 96 % sensitivity; 100 % specificity and 96,3 % coincidence were found in both techniques. The anti p-24 ELISA-DAVIH system is a good alternative for the follow-up of HIV positive patients.
