To assess the sensitivity and specificity of HIV antibody detection in saliva we tested matched serum and saliva samples from HIV-infected and uninfected individuals. Saliva specimens were collected by two different devices of the Salivette system and stored at different temperatures. Samples were t

## Abstract Paired serum and saliva samples were tested by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot (WB) for the presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies. The study group included 36 individuals known to be HIV seropositive and 14 healthy, seronegative controls. H
The sensitivity and specificity of direct antibody radioimmunoassay (RIA), M-antibody capture RIA (MACRIA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) test for the detection of CMV-specific IgM was compared using 40 sera selected from different groups of pati
