Modified indirect hemagglutination test for detection of treponemal antibodies in finger-prick blood.

abstract：:Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 serotype C was found in 545 of 712 Ethiopian patients by peptide enzyme immunoassay. Serotyping failed in 146 samples due to the absence of V3 antibodies or multiple reactivities. In 6 of 34 samples, discordant results were obtained by serotyping and genotyping, possibly due to dive...

abstract：:HPV68a is not efficiently detected by PCR with the PGMY primers. Version 2 of the PGMY-CHUV assay (PGv2) was developed from version 1 (PGv1) to evaluate HPV68-discordant results with the Anyplex II HPV28 assay. We now report that PGv2 is significantly more sensitive than PGv1 for HPV68a and as sensitive and specific f...
