Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We attempted to define optimal conditions for amplification of low copy number HIV-1 RNA sequences in plasma samples, applying improved conditions for nucleic acid extraction and amplification. METHODS: Several methodologic parameters were evaluated, including methods of RNA extraction, volumes of plasma samples, proportion of extracted RNA used as a template for amplification, and reverse...
