Human T-cell lymphotropic virus types I and II (HTLV-I and HTLV-II) are closely related exogenous human retroviruses. This assay is useful in detection of HTLV-I and HTLV-II specific IgG antibodies
in human serum specimens, and for differentiating HTLV-I from HTLV-II. For accurate diagnosis of HTLV-I or HTLV-II infection, this test-reactive results should be verified by a confirmatory test, such as Western blot test.
