Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Understanding the selection and decay of drug-resistant HIV-1 variants is important for designing optimal antiretroviral therapy. OBJECTIVE: To develop a high-throughput, real-time reverse transcriptase (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to quantify non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-resistant variants K103N (AAT or AAC alleles) at frequencies as low as 0.1%, and to apply...
