PG - 547-50 AB - Nonisotopic, microwell-based DNA hybridization assays for the specific detection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gag, human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) pol, and HTLV-II pol DNA sequences were evaluated. The performances of these detection kits (Gene Detective enzyme oligonucleotide assays; Cellular Products, Inc., Buffalo, N.Y.) were assessed by using clinical samples whose infection status were established by amplification by PCR and then liquid hybridization detection by using virus-specific probes. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell lysates from 59 HIV-1-, 35 HTLV-I-, and 19 HTLV-II-infected individuals and from 15 healthy blood donors were used as substrates for PCR amplification. The results of the study demonstrated a clinical sensitivity of 100%. In addition, the enzyme oligonucleotide assays were able to detect 1 to 10 proviral copies subsequent to PCR amplification, indicating an analytical sensitivity comparable to that of liquid hybridization.
