Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 genotyping of larger pol-fragments from dried serum/plasma spots (DSS/DPS) is often hindered by RNA-degradation during transportation at ambient temperature. We evaluated an in-house HIV-1 DSS/DPS-genotyping assay designed in two shorter overlapping fragments covering all resistance mutations in protease and reverse transcriptase. Validation criteria such as specificity, detection limit, accuracy,...
