MP Biomedicals HTLV Blot 2.4 (RUO)

Product Code. 30694935

Brand: MP Biomedicals 11082036

Description

The Blot is a qualitative enzyme immunoassay for the in vitro detection of antibodies to HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 in human serum or plasma.

• The nitrocellulose strips are precoated with HTLV viral proteins derived from native inactivated viral particles and genetically engineered proteins.
• Individual nitrocellulose strips are incubated with diluted serum or plasma specimens and controls.
• Specific antibodies to HTLV-I/II, if present in the specimen will bind to the HTLV-I/II proteins on the strips.
• The strips are washed to remove unbound materials while antibodies that bind specifically to the HTLV proteins can be visualized using a series of reactions with goat anti-human IgG conjugated with alkaline phosphatase and the substrate, BCIP/NBT.
• Each strip also includes an internal sample addition control to minimize the risk of false negatives due to operational errors
• The possible serological profiles defined by the test include the following: HTLV Seropositive, HTLV-I Seropositive, HTLV-II Seropositive, Seronegative or Indeterminate.
• It is intended for use as a more specific supplemental test on human serum or plasma specimens found repeatedly reactive using screening procedures like ELISA.
• Research use only.
• For professional use only.
• Human serum and plasma.
