Abstract

A rapid, specific, and sensitive modification of the dot immunobinding assay was compared with the standard enzyme immunoassay as a screening procedure for the detection of antibody in human or simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Comparative testing with the available enzyme immunoassay procedures, either in commercial kit form or as provided by diagnostic laboratories, indicated excellent correlation. Ease of operation and cost are key features of the dot immunobinding assay procedure.
