recomLine HIV-1 & HIV-2 IgG
against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and type 2 (HIV-2) in human serum or plasma
Mikrogen recomLine HIV-1 & HIV-2 IgG test is a serological, qualitative in vitro line immunoassay based on recombinant antigens from the ENV, POL and GAG gene regions and enables simple and reliable confirmation of HIV screening results.
The major challenges in modern HIV serology are early detection of infection and reliable detection of all HIV variants. Solving these two problems increases the safety of blood donations and blood products, and helps avert the further spread of HIV infection.

Advantages
- Use of 8 serologically relevant HIV antigens
- HIV-1 & HIV-2 envelope antigens on one strip for rapid differentiation
- Very high seroconversion sensitivity for early diagnosis
- Antibody detection of different subtypes of group M and group O HIV-1
- Easy and clear interpretation due to easy-to-read banding
- Partial and full automation, software-based evaluation (recomScan) and integration with laboratory information system possible
- Highest sensitivity and specificity through the use of recombinant antigens:
| Antigen | Gene area | Function/Localization |
| gp120 | ENV HIV-1 | External glycoprotein, component of the viral envelope of HIV-1 |
| gp41 | ENV HIV-1 | Component of the viral envelope of HIV-1 |
| p51 | POL | Reverse transcripase of HIV-1 |
| p31 | POL | Integrase of HIV-1 |
| p24 | GAG | Capsid protein of HIV-1 |
| p17 | GAG | Matrix protein of HIV-1 |
| gp105 | ENV HIV-2 | External glycoprotein, component of the viral envelope of HIV-2 |
| gp36 | ENV HIV-2 | Transmembrane glycoprotein, component of the viral envelope of HIV-2 |
Standardized evaluation – less variability, faster results with recomScan 5 software:
Safe and reliable
Validity check by integrated, strip-specific cutoff and antibody class controls
Flexible and compatible
Combination of all microgen line immunoassays possible - uniform processing and interchangeable reagents
High Standard
CE mark: The recomLine HIV-1 & HIV-2 test meets the high standard of the EC Directive 98/79/EC for in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
