HTLV – I II ANTIBODY CONFIRMATION Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the HTLV – I II ANTIBODY CONFIRMATION Test to confirm the presence of antibodies against Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV) types I and II in a person’s blood.
Test Details
The HTLV-I/II antibody confirmation test is a laboratory test used to confirm the presence of antibodies against Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV) types I and II in a person’s blood. HTLV is a retrovirus that infects T-cells, a type of white blood cell. HTLV-I is primarily associated with a rare type of leukemia called adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), while HTLV-II is associated with certain neurological disorders and may also play a role in blood cell cancers.

Diagnosis
The initial screening test for HTLV-I/II antibodies is usually an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA). If this screening test is positive, a confirmation test is performed to confirm the presence of HTLV antibodies. The confirmation test typically involves more specific and sensitive techniques such as Western blot or PCR (polymerase chain reaction). These tests help to differentiate between HTLV-I and HTLV-II infections and provide a more accurate diagnosis.
It is important to note that a positive HTLV-I/II antibody confirmation test does not necessarily mean that the person has active HTLV infection or will develop associated diseases. Further testing and evaluation by a healthcare professional are required to determine the clinical significance of the HTLV antibody presence.
