Abstract excerpt
Immune pressure on lentiviruses exerted by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) selects for virus CTL epitope mutations. Currently employed methods for monitoring emerging CTL epitope mutations rely on the labor-intensive and time-consuming techniques of virus population or clonal sequencing. Here we describe the development of a high-throughput quantitative reverse transcription-PCR assay that facilitates large-scale...
