10 Practical Microbiology Salient Features: 1. It is a rapid test for detection of antibodies against HIV-1 and HIV-2. 2. There is a membrane with one control and two test dots one each for HIV and HIV-2. 3. For positive test, one control and other HIV-1 or/and HIV-2 dots show distinct pinkish purple dots against white Control background. 4. In negative cases, control only shows Positive pinkish purple dot. 5. Principle: (i) HIV antigens are immobilised on a porous immunofiltration. 8.73 HIV-Tridot membrane. Samples and reagents pass through the membrane and are absorbed into the underlying absorbent. (ii) If the patient's sample contains HIV antibodies, these bind to the immobilised antigen. ot (iii) Conjugate binds to Fc portion the HIV antibodies to give pinkish purple dots. XII.
