Quantification of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Proviral Load by a TaqMan Real-Time PCR Assay
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
Proviral human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) DNA could be a useful marker for exploring viral reservoirs and monitoring antiretroviral treatment, particularly when HIV-1 RNA is undetectable in plasma. A new technique was developed to quantify proviral HIV-1 using a TaqMan real-time PCR assay. One copy of proviral HIV-1 DNA could be detected with 100% sensitivity for five copies and the assay had a range...
