Anti-AIDS (AIDS) Antibodies

Infection with human immunodeficiency virus causes AIDS, the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). There are two types of this virus, HIV-I. Globally prevalent; HIV-II is mainly prevalent in Africa. The conventional method is to measure HIV antibodies, and the detection method is initially screened by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), gelatin particle agglutination test (PA), and Western blotting (WB) can be confirmed. Basic Information Specialist classification: Infectious disease examination and classification: immunological examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Normal value: no Above normal: negative: normal. Positive: Prompt for human immunodeficiency virus infection. Tips: If there is local congestion, use a warm towel after 24 hours to promote absorption. Normal value negative. Clinical significance Serum screening test (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, gelatin particle agglutination test) is positive, must be confirmed (Western blot test), if the test is also positive, can be diagnosed as human immunodeficiency virus infection. Precautions Specimens were collected as venous blood 2 ml, not anticoagulated, and serum was separated for measurement. In addition, HIV infection can also be detected by PCR. Inspection process When measured, the antibody binds to the solid support first, but retains its immunological activity, and then adds a conjugate (label) to which the antibody binds to the enzyme. The conjugate retains its original immunological activity and enzymatic activity. When the conjugate is combined with the antibody on the solid support, the corresponding substrate of the enzyme is added, that is, the catalytic hydrolysis or redox reaction is carried out to give a color. Not suitable for the crowd There are no taboos. Adverse reactions and risks There are no related complications and hazards.
