We have evaluated a newly developed competitive enzyme immunoassay for the specific detection of antibodies against LAV/HTLV III envelope and core proteins. Comparative studies of sera from high‐risk donors showed complete concordance between the results of the confirmatory enzyme immunoassay and immunoblot or indirect immunofluorescence techniques. Studies of sera from blood donors with a repeatedly reactive screening test for anti‐LAV/HTLV III demonstrated two specimens which were positive by the confirmatory enzyme immunoassay and negative or indeterminable by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence.Read More
