A sensitive enzyme immunoassay (immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay) for (antihuman T-cell leukemia virus type I) IgG (anti-HTLV-I IgG) in serum using a synthetic peptide, Ala-Cys-env gp46(237-262), of HTLV-I is described. Anti-HTLV-I IgG in test serum, which had been incubated with excess of inactive beta-D-galactosidase to eliminate interference by anti-beta-D-galactosidase antibodies, was reacted simultaneously with 2,4-dinitrophenyl-bovine serum albumin-Ala-Cys-env gp46(237-262) conjugate and Ala-Cys-env gp46(237-262)-beta-D-galactosidase conjugate. The complex formed consisting of the three components was trapped onto polystyrene balls coated with affinity-purified (anti-2,4-dinitrophenyl group) IgG. After washing to eliminate nonspecific IgG in the test serum and excess of the beta-D-galactosidase conjugate, the complex was eluted from the polystyrene balls with epsilon N-2,4-dinitrophenyl-L-lysine and transferred to polystyrene balls coated with affinity-purified (anti-human IgG gamma-chain) IgG. beta-D-galactosidase activity bound to the (anti-human IgG gamma-chain) IgG-coated polystyrene balls was assayed by fluorometry. This assay was more sensitive than other methods using HTLV-I as antigen, and most negative and positive sera were discriminated. However, some results appeared to be false positive or false negative, and the peptide, Ala-Cys-env gp46(237-262), was suggested to be useful, in combination with other peptides, for improving the reliability of serodiagnosis by separately demonstrating antibodies against as many different epitopes of HTLV-I as possible.
