Detection of Seroconversion

Eleven HIV-1 seroconversion serum panels (SV-0111, SV-0161, SV-0051, SV-0211, and SV-0241 from North Ameri-can Biologicals, Miami, FL and Panels P, Z, E, J, S, and K from Boston Biomedica, West Bridgewater, MA) weretested by the immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay using each of rRT, rp17, and rp24 as antigen, and theresults were compared with those by the third generation enzyme immunoassay using recombinant gp41 and p24 asantigens (Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, IL) and the gelatin particle agglutination test using a lysate of HIV-1as antigen (Fujirebio) (Table 5) (20). In nine seroconversion serum panels (Panels 1–9) out of the 11, antibody IgGs top17, p24, and RT were detected by the immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassays as early as or even earlier(Panel 3) than antibodies to HIV-1 by the other methods. In one of the 11 (Panel 10), antibody IgG to p17 was detectedby the immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay as early as antibodies to HIV-1 by the other methods, butantibody IgGs to p24 and RT were detected later. In another panel (Panel 11), the detection of antibody IgG to p17 bythe immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay was as early as the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 by the gelatinparticle agglutination test, but was later than the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 by the third generation enzymeimmunoassay and the detection of antibody IgGs to p24 and RT by the immune complex transfer enzyme immunoas-say was later.
