The Genetic Systems™ HIV-1 Western Blot is a supplemental,
more specific test for the detection of antibodies to
HIV-1. The solid phase antigens are derived
from LAV strain of HIV-1 grown in the CEM
cell line. Use of the CEM cell line, which is
devoid of HLA Class ll antigens, helps
reduce cross reactivity to cell related, nonviral
bands. In addition, the Genetic
Systems HIV-1 Western Blot offers a
same-day procedure for faster turn around,
as well as a dried blood spot protocol for
applications requiring this type of specimen.
