Kinetics of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV) DNA Integration in Acutely Infected Cells as Determined Using a Novel Assay for Detection of Integrated HIV DNA
15 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
We have developed a novel linker-primer PCR assay for the detection and quantification of integrated human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) DNA. This assay reproducibly allowed the detection of 10 copies of integrated HIV DNA, in a background of 2 x 10(5) cell equivalents of human chromosomal DNA, without amplifying extrachromosomal HIV DNA. We have used this assay and a near-synchronous one-step T-cell...
