ELISA and WesternBlot

Can anybody explain the difference between ELISA and Westernblot tests. I hope Elisa look for antibodies and WesterBlot look for proties. why we are saying Westerblot is more accurate and conformatory to diagnose HIV?

Also , how accurately Western Blot detects different HIV strains like O,N and HIV 2

Hi there,

It's a little too long to write it here... : o)  However, the information is readily found in the internet.  Do a goggle and you will be able to find it.

Cheers!
