Front Microbiol. Rev Neurol Paris. With the addition of a diluted test sample containing antibodies to either HTLV-1 or HTLV-2, complexes are formed by the interaction of the antibodies in the sample and the solid phase antigens. Following incubation, the sample is aspirated and the well is washed with buffer. Subsequently, antihuman immunoglobulin goat conjugated with horseradish peroxidase HRP is added, which binds the antibody-antigen complex during a second incubation.

Following a wash and incubation with TMB tetramethylbenzidine substrate, a blue color is produced. The enzyme reaction is stopped by the addition of a sulfuric acid solution, which changes the color to yellow. This test has been modified from the manufacturer's instructions.
