Abstract excerpt
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) using fluorescent hydrolysis probes (FH-probes; TaqMan-probes) of variable genomes, such as HIV-1, can result in underestimation of viral copy numbers due to mismatches in the FH-probe's target sequences. Therefore both target conservation and physical properties of FH-pro...
