(21) In 1969, the release of a report conducted by the
Bionetics Research Laboratories for the National Cancer Institute attracted even more critics.
The others were either recruited through the Ames
Bionetics contractor or were laboratory personnel.
The EIA testing was performed simultaneously using Litton
Bionetics Amebiasis Bio-Enzabead Screen kit, catalog number 9201-15, which was purchased commercially.
The companies are Abbott Laboratories, Du Pont/Biotech, Electro-Nucleonics, Litton
Bionetics, and Travenol-Genentech.

Gallo and their colleagues at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, and
Bionetics, Inc., in Kensington, Md., report that they had inadvertently used a picture of a virus grown from material provided by Montagnier's laboratory -- thus, LAV-I -- as an illustration in their initial article describing the HTLV-III virus (SN: 4/28/84, p.
Last April, PHS researchers isolated HTLV-III, developed a prototype antibody detection kit, and licensed five firms (Abbott Laboratories, Du Pont/Biotech, Electro-Nucleonics, Litton
Bionetics, and Travenol-Genentech) to refine and mass-produce the test kits.
