Human High Quality Anti-HIV 1&2 ELISA Kit 96Test/Kit
The third generation double antigen sandwich method to detect
antibody to HIV1+2 in serum or plasma
1.SUMMARY AND PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type (HIV-1) has been isolated from
patients with AIDS and AIDS-related complex (ARC). HIV-1 was
thought to be the sole causive agent of these syndromes until 1986,
when a second type of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-2) was
isolated and also reported to cause AIDS. Since the initial
discovery, more than 600 cases of HIV-2 infection have been
documented worldwide, with over 40 cases of AIDS related to HIV-2.
- Both viruses have the same morphology and lymphotropism, and the
modes of transmission appear to be identical. In addition, HIV-1
and HIV-2 genomes exhibit about 60% homology in conserved genes
such as gag and pol. Serologic studies have also shown that the
core proteins of HIV-1 and HIV-2 display frequent cross-reactivity
whereas the envelope proteins are more type-specific.

3. ASSAY PROCEDURE
- Allow all components to reach room temperature before use. Dilute
concentrated wash buffer 1:20 with ddH2O.
- Set two positive and three negative controls. Dispense 100μl of
Positive Control(HIV-1 and HIV-2) as well as Negative Control in
duplicate into respective wells without sample diluent. Set one
blank well as background control without adding any liquid. Add
50μl of sample diluent into each test well, add 50 μl test serum or
plasma into test wells mix thoroughly.
- Place the microtiter plate into a humidified box and incubate at
37°C for 30 min.
- Discard reaction solution and add 350μl diluted wash buffer to each
well. Discard the wash buffer after soaking for 15-30seconds.
Repeat the washing procedure 5 times and then inverting the plate
vigorously to get all water out and blocking the rim of wells on
absorbent paper for a few seconds.
- Add 100μl of Enzyme Conjugate to each well. Mix it gently by
swirling the microtiter plate on flat bench for 1 min. Do not add
Enzyme Conjugate to the blank well..
- Place the microtiter plate into a humidified box and incubate at
37°C for 30 min.
- Wash each well 5 times by filling each well with diluted 1X wash
buffer, then inverting the plate vigorously to get all water out
and blocking the rim of wells on absorbent paper for a few seconds.
- Add 50μl of Substrate Solution A (HRP substrate) to each well, then
add 50μl of Substrate Solution B (TMB) to each well. Mix gently and
incubate at 37°C for15 min.
- Add one drop (50μl) of Stop Solution to each well to stop the color
reaction.
- Read the OD value at 450 nm/630 nm with dual filter plate reader.
It is option to read the OD value at 450 nm with single filter
plate reader. (using the OD value of the blank well to correct all
the OD reading from all wells
