Enzyme Immunoassay with Synthetic Peptides to Detect Anti-HTLV-I Antibodies

Clinical Chemistry, 1992
Abstract We developed an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) system to detect antibodies to human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I). This system uses chemically synthesized oligopeptides to capture anti-HTLV-I antibodies in serum. The two epitopes of HTLV-I proteins exhibiting the most specific antigen-antibody reaction reside within amino acids
