An. Kanev et al., DEVELOPMENT OF SERUM PANELS FOR ASSESSING THE QUALITY OF SCREENING FOR ANTI-HIV ANTIBODIES IN PRACTICAL LABORATORIES, Voprosy virusologii, 42(6), 1997, pp. 275-280
The authors define the scientific basis for development of panels of r
eference sera intended for effective control of the quality of enzyme
immunoassay for HIV antibody screening. Special attention was paid to
developing the technology of preparing standard highly stable serum sa
mples with a preset concentration of anti-HIV antibodies. The resultan
t panel of reference sera was tried in screening for anti-HIV antibodi
es by enzyme immunoassay at seven diagnostic laboratories. Mathematica
l analysis of the results permits the detection of the minimal errors
in studies with the use of serum panel in practical laboratories.
