Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of genotypic methods for predicting the co-receptor usage of subtypes B and non-B HIV-1 primary isolates, using as gold standard the infectivity of each primary isolate in GHOST cells stably expressing HIV-1 co-receptors. METHODS: Primary isolates were obtained by co-culturing either patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or ultracentrifuged...
