Comparative Evaluation of HTLV-1/2 ELISA Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three different kinds of commercially available ELISA assays [Wantai HTLV-1/2 antibody ELISA kits (Wantai BioPharm, China), Murex HTLV I+II (Diasorin S.p.A., United Kingdom) and Foresight HTLV-1/2 antibody ELISA kits (Acon Biotech, China)] were used for screening HTLV1/2 antibodies at all participating blood centers/banks in China. Reactive specimens were retested by the same assay and any one of two-round retests found to be reactive were defined as RR specimen.
Further detection was done in the NCCL using Elecsys HTLV-I/II (Roche Diagnostics, Germany), Lumipulse G HTLV-I/II (Fujirebio, Japan) and two kinds of ELISA assays (Murex HTLV I+II (Diasorin S.p.A., United Kingdom) and Avioq HTLV-I/II Microelisa System (Avioq, Durham, NC, United State). The key features of the evaluated assays are summarized in Table 1.

HTLV-1/2 Antibody Screening and Confirmation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples were initially screened for HTLV1/2 antibodies using one of the following three commercially available ELISA assays, including Wantai HTLV-1/2 antibody ELISA kits (Wantai BioPharm, China), Murex HTLV I+II (Diasorin S.p.A., United Kingdom), and Foresight HTLV-1/2 antibody ELISA kits (Acon Biotech, China). Reactive specimens underwent retests by the same assay, and any one of the two-round retests that were reactive would be defined as an initially anti-HTLV-1/2 reactive specimen and was sent to the NCCL for further confirmation.
Two different serologic assays, namely, Elecsys HTLV-I/II (Roche Diagnostics, Germany) and Murex HTLV I+II (Diasorin S.p.A., UK), were performed on one sample simultaneously in NCCL. Any sample that reacted to one of the two assays was confirmed and discriminated by the line immunoassay (INNO-LIA HTLV I/II Score, Fujirebio, Japan).

Screening for HTLV-1/2 Antibodies in Brazil

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The samples from São Paulo were screened for the presence of HTLV-1/2 antibodies by two enzyme immunoassays (EIAs): Murex HTLV-I+II (DiaSorin S.p.A., Dartford, UK) and Gold ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) HTLV-1/2 (REM Indústria e Comércio Ltd., São Paulo, Brazil). The samples from Salvador were initially screened by the Ortho HTLV-1/HTLV-2 Ab-Capture ELISA system (Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, Raritan, NJ, USA) as well as by four other HTLV-1/2 screening tests commercially available in Brazil: three EIAs (Murex HTLV-I+II [DiaSorin S.p.A., Dartford, UK], anti-HTLV-1/2 Sym solution [Symbiosis Diagnóstica Ltd., Leme, Brazil], and Gold ELISA HTLV-1/2 [REM Indústria e Comércio Ltd., São Paulo, Brazil]) and one chemiluminescence assay (CLIA) kit (Architect rHTLV-1/2; Abbott Diagnostics Division, Wiesbaden, Germany). All assays were performed according to the manufacturers’ instructions, which were also used to interpret results. Cutoff values and gray zones were calculated for each assay, and samples considered reactive or inconclusive in screening were submitted for a confirmatory assay.

Immunoenzymatic assays (Murex HTLV-I+II, DiaSorin, Dartford, UK) were used to detect anti-HTLV-1/2 antibodies in the tested samples following the manufacturer's instructions. Samples with positive results were subjected to line immunoassays (INNO-LIA® HTLV I/II Score, Fujirebio, Japan) and real-time PCR (Applied Biosystems Step One Plus Real Time PCR) to confirm infection and differentiate the viral type, respectively.

Of the 537 international migrants who consented to participate, a total of 528 (98.3%) serum samples were tested for anti-HTLV-1/2 (Murex HTLV-I + II, DiaSorin, Dartford, UK) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Reactive samples were confirmed using a line immunoassay (INNO-LIA HTLV I/II, Fujirebio, Europe N.V., Belgium). Samples that tested positive by LIA were considered positive for HTLV-1 or 2 infections.

Peripheral blood (10 ml) was collected from each participant in a tube containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as an anticoagulant. The samples were transported to the Virology Laboratory of the Biological Sciences Institute, Federal University of Pará. Plasma and formed elements were separated by centrifugation at 8,944 g for 15 min, transferred to cryotubes, and frozen at −20°C until serological and molecular analyses.
Plasma samples were screened for anti-HTLV-1/HTLV-2 antibodies using a qualitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; Murex HTLV I + II; DiaSorin, Saluggia, Italy) in the Virology Section of Evandro Chagas Institute/Health Surveillance Secretariat, Ministry of Health of Brazil. Reactive or inconclusive results were confirmed using Real-time PCR (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, United States), which also differentiated between HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 infection.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
