We describe a rapid method for detection of antibodies to T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) by using synthetic peptide. An ELISA using synthetic peptide antigen (in this case residues 100 to 130 of the HTLV-I gag p19 protein) permitted the detection of antibodies in 100 sera from blood donors within 15 minutes. The results obtained with a rapid ELISA were identical to those in standard ELISA, requiring at least 2 hours to complete. A rapid ELISA is potentially suitablefor simple, rapid, qualitative screening for antibodies to HTLV-I.
