title: Simultaneous measurement of antibodies to three HIV-1 antigens in newborn dried blood-spot specimens using a multiplexed microsphere-based immunoassay.
abstract: We developed a fluorescent immunoassay to simultaneously measure antibodies to three HIV-1 antigens from newborn dried blood-spot specimens. The multiplexed assay uses fluorescent microspheres and a flow analyzer. The procedure is sensitive, precise and accurate, and can be expanded to simultaneously measure additional multiple analytes from a single specimen.
