Abstract excerpt
Allele-specific PCR based on subtype consensus sequences is a powerful technique for detecting low frequency drug resistant mutants in HIV-1 infected patients. However, this approach can be limited by genetic variation in the region complementary to the primers, leading to variability in allele d...
