Improved Single-Copy Assays for Quantification of Persistent HIV-1 Viremia in Patients on Suppressive Antiretroviral Therapy
4 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
A quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assay with single-copy sensitivity targeting HIV-1 gag RNA (the gag single-copy assay [gSCA]) has been used widely to quantify plasma viremia below the limit of detection of clinical assays in patients on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), but viral RNA in 15 to 30% of samples amplifies inefficiently because of primer/probe mismatches. We sought to develop improved...
