 AB    A total of 32 specimens with different categories of reactivity by Du
       Pont Western Blot kit comprising of specimens showing full spectrum of
       HIV-I antigen specific bands, 19 specimens showing total absence of
       bands and four specimens showing non-specific bands (without any
       interpretative importance) were subjected to Western Blot testing by
       Organon test. Of the nine specimens showing full spectrum of bands by Du
       Pont the correlation with Organon kit was 100 per cent based on WHO
       criteria. Four specimens with non-specific indeterminate band pattern by
       Du Pont failed to show any band in Organon kit, indicating that latter
       to be more specific.
