Anti-HIV-1: extended validation of a modified gelatin particle agglutination assay, and its use with an image analyser.
1991
: Modification of a commercial gelatin particle agglutination assay for anti-HIV-1 (MAT) has increased sensitivity, reduced reaction time and lowered the cost by 90%. We tested over 10,000 blood donations in parallel with the ELISA currently in use, and found the modified test to be highly sensitive and to enhance cost-effectiveness as it substantially reduces false-positive rates. The patterns of agglutination are clearly reproducible and readable by the naked eye and/or Image Analyzer, which provides objectivity and hard-copy documentation of results.
