Evaluation of an Ultrasensitive p24 Antigen Assay as a Potential Alternative to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 RNA Viral Load Assay in Resource-Limited Settings
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
An inexpensive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 quantitation, ultrasensitive p24 antigen assay (Up24), was compared with RNA viral load assay (VL). Up24 had 100% sensitivity of detection at a viral load of >/=30,000, with sensitivity of 46.4% at a viral load of <30,000 (232 specimens from 65 seropositive subjects). The assay was highly reproducible, with excellent...
