Western Blot Proficiency Test
The HPTN requires Quality
Assurance of Western Blot testing for enrollment samples and endpoint
samples. All laboratory staff that read and interpret Western Blot
results are required to complete proficiency testing approximately every
six months. To help satisfy that requirement, the Network
Laboratory will post an image of an actual Western Blot run on this
website and relevant laboratory staff from each site will review the
image and submit their interpretations of the image to the Network
Laboratory via a test form. The Network Laboratory will report the
results to the Laboratory Manager for each site, and will specify any
corrective action(s) needed for individuals and/or the site as a whole.
