Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Currently, most HIV drug resistance PCR assays amplify the protease-reverse transcriptase (PR-RT) fragment separately from the integrase (IN) fragment. The aim of this study was to develop a multiplex PCR assay that simultaneously amplifies PR-RT and IN fragments for HIV-1 drug-resistance testing. METHODS: The in-house multiplex PCR assay was evaluated on extracted total nucleic acids obtained from...
