Immunoglobulin G antibody capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: a versatile assay for detection of anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and 2 antibodies in body fluids

Abstract: In tests on specimens of dried blood, saliva, and urine from 55 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)seropositive and 55 HIV-seronegative patients, an immunoglobulin G capture enzyme immunoassay for the detection of antibodies to HIV types 1 and 2, GACELISA, gave 109 of 110, 109 of 109, and 109 of 110 correct results, respectively. This performance, achieved in a laboratory previously unfamiliar with the assay, suggests that GACELISA is a useful new epidemiological tool for the study of HIV infection, equally app… Show more

“…This study represents the first OraSure OF specimen set to be evaluated by GACELISA, a capture-antibody assay designed for OF, urine, and dried blood spot specimens. In other studies, GACELISA has consistently provided sensitivities and specificities comparable to those found with matched serum tests using whole saliva as well as Omni-Sal (Saliva Diagnostic Systems, Vancouver, Wash.) and other OF specimens (8,11,12,15,16,25,27,30,32,37). GACELISA has also been shown to discriminate between HIV antibody-positive and HIV antibody-negative spec-imens despite the low IgG concentrations in OF specimens (20).…”
