INNO-LIA™ HIV I/II Score
INNO-LIA™ HIV I/II Score is a line immunoassay to confirm the presence of antibodies against the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), including group O, and type 2 (HIV-2) in human serum or plasma. The INNO-LIA™ HIV I/II Score also differentiates between HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections.

Background
Antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been detected in most patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and AIDS-related complex (ARC), and in many asymptomatic individuals belonging to high-risk groups. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are widely used to screen human blood and plasma samples for the presence of these HIV antibodies. However, since false-positive reactions have frequently been observed with current ELISA tests, it is strongly recommended to confirm repeatedly reactive samples by use of other reliable techniques (such as the INNO-LIA™ HIV I/II Score).
Recombinant proteins and synthetic peptides from HIV-1 and HIV-2, and a synthetic peptide from HIV-1 group O, are coated as discrete lines on a nylon strip with plastic backing. The INNO-LIA™ HIV I/II Score assay contains sequences derived from HIV-O sequences to allow the optimal detection of infections caused by this group of viruses.
To allow the broad spectrum detection of all HIV infections, the INNO-LIA™ HIV I/II Score assay also contains separate lines for the differentiation of HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections. This is important, as HIV-2 is less virulent, resulting in a better prognosis for the patient.
