  • Title: [Comparison of virus isolation and antigen enzyme immunoassay in the detection of HIV].
    Author: Barrett PN, Dorner F, Stingl G, Heinz FX, Kunz C.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 1989 Jun 23; 101(13):446-7. PubMed ID: 2503943.
    Abstract:
    Virus isolation from peripheral blood lymphocytes and antigen detection in serum by ELISA were compared in 75 patients with a serologically confirmed HIV infection. 25 per cent of the lymphocyte cultures were HIV positive, but only 2 of the 14 patients were also antigen positive. In addition, infectious virus was not detected in 15 antigen positive patients, thus revealing only a low degree of correlation between the two assay systems.
