Carga proviral do HTLV-1 e HTLV-2: um método simples através da PCR quantitativa em tempo real
1 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
When the human T cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) is integrated with the host cell genome (provirus), its proviral DNA is a replication marker. Proviral load appears to be an important factor in the development of diseases related to these retroviruses. In this study, a methodology for absolute quantification of the HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 proviral load using real-time PCR was developed. Fifty-three blood donor samples...
