Optimization of the Oligonucleotide Ligation Assay, a Rapid and Inexpensive Test for Detection of HIV-1 Drug Resistance Mutations, for Non-North American Variants
1 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the feasibility of the oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA), a specific, sensitive, and economical ligase-based point mutation assay designed to detect HIV-1 drug-resistance mutations at 12 codons of HIV-1 subtype B pol, for potential use in resource-poor settings. METHODS: Specimens from HIV-1-infected individuals collected by 7 international laboratories, including subtypes A, B, C, D,...
