Abstract excerpt
Cell culture growth competition assays of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) are used to estimate viral fitness and quantify the impact of mutations conferring drug resistance and immunological escape. A comprehensive study of growth competition assays was conducted and identified experimental parameters that can impact measurements of relative fitness including multiplicity of infection, viral input...
