Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We compared the proviral DNA level in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), viral RNA level in plasma, presence of p24 antigen in serum, viral phenotype, and results of immunological markers of HIV-1 disease. METHODS: Consecutive samples of 62 HIV-1-infected patients, representing all stages of disease were tested for proviral DNA in PBMC and viral RNA in plasma using a semi-quantitative limiting...
