why do we have to do a western blot confirmatory testing after doing an ELISA screening test for HIV?
Many ELISAs that are used to identify the presence of antibody to viruses have a 3rd control (along with negative and positive). In between the rows of wells coated with antigen, are rows of cells coated with tissue culture used to grow the virus. In other words, patient serum is added to wells that contain antigen along with wells that contain tissue culture. Why do you think this might be necessary?
What is rationale of using serological typing in bacterial agglutination?
