Summary Introduction
To determine:
How it is possible that a newborn’s antibodies against HIV were shown earlier through ELISA and after six months, the same test was negative.
Introduction:
For identifying various antibodies or antigens in the serum, scientists have developed various serological tests. A type of serological testing is the labeled antibody tests and ELISA is one of them. These are so named as labeled antibody tests because these tests require the molecules of antibodies which link to the labels (molecular) and could be easily detected.
