Description
Summary:D Follett et al recommend subjecting samples with indeterminate results in the second generation recombinant immunoblot assay to nested reverse transcriptase/polymerase chain reaction analysis. 2 We performed this on 74 of the specimens with discrepant results, using primers from the 5' non-coding region. 3 The results are included in the table.
