Abstract

Indirect immunofluorescence antibody testing is a mainstay of retrovirus serodiagnosis in the public health community, affording quick, inexpensive, and clear results with significant advantages over Western blot testing. Limitations regarding training of personnel and availability of reagents will probably continue and limit indirect immunofluorescence antibody testing to the present users.
