It is reported the evaluation of the DAVIH-BLOT system (DAVIH Laboratories, Cuba) against the proficiency panels sent to the National AIDS Reference Laboratory by the World Health Organization (WHO) in order to ensure the quality in the diagnosis of HIV antibodies during 1989, 1991 and 1993. The system is also compared with those of the Dupont and Diagnostic Pasteur firms in a group of 467 positive sera by ELISA. On studying the WHO's samples, the system proved to be highly sensitive and specific. In the comparison made with the HIV-1 Western Blot IgG version 1.2 (Dupont company, USA) and with the LAV-blot 1 (Diagnostic Pasteur, France), there was a coincidence of 100 and 97%, respectively.

D011786 Quality Control A system for verifying and maintaining a desired level of quality in a product or process by careful planning, use of proper equipment, continued inspection, and corrective action as required. (Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed) Control, Quality,Controls, Quality,Quality Controls
D011933 Reagent Kits, Diagnostic Commercially prepared reagent sets, with accessory devices, containing all of the major components and literature necessary to perform one or more designated diagnostic tests or procedures. They may be for laboratory or personal use.

D012015 Reference Standards A basis of value established for the measure of quantity, weight, extent or quality, e.g. weight standards, standard solutions, methods, techniques, and procedures used in diagnosis and therapy. Standard Preparations,Standards, Reference,Preparations, Standard,Standardization,Standards,Preparation, Standard,Reference Standard,Standard Preparation,Standard, Reference
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
