Abstract
Five commercial assays for detecting HIV antigen were evaluated using a panel of 40 coded samples in six laboratories. All assays were capable of detecting HIV-1 antigen (HIV-1 Ag), and are likely to prove useful for monitoring supernatant fluids from a variety of cell cultures. The concentration of HIV-1 protein which the assays detected varied from 25 ng/ml down to 25 pg/ml. Three of the five assays were also able to detect HIV-2 Ag. More extensive evaluations are needed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of these assays on serum samples and body fluids.Entities:
