IMPROVED PROCESS FOR THE LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS OF INFECTIONS CAUSED BY HTLV 222 VIRUS IN PARTICULAR

摘要

Process for the diagnosis of viral infections (caused in particular by the HTLV III virus and others) capable of detecting the presence in blood of IgM antibodies (in addition to other classes) that characterize the initial stages of infections in general, and those leading to AIDS in particular. The antibodies, after being separated from serum by the respective antigens, are hot eluted and then fixed again by means of antigens. Their presence can be then evidenced by adding the conjugate.
