If that name sounds familiar, it's because of its similarity to HTLV-III (for human T-lymphotropic virus type III), the AIDS virus discovered by Gallo's laboratory. The virus is not the AIDS virus, which was recently designated HIV (also known as HTLV-III, LAV-I, or ARV-I). In an ELISA, the blood is added to small wells containing bits of the AIDS virus, which was previously known as HTLV-III or LAV-I, but has been recently designated HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) by an international committee of virologists. |
