Abstract excerpt
Highly sensitive assays that quantitate human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA may be valuable for clinical research and the treatment of HIV-1-infected patients. In this study we evaluated the reproducibility and accuracy of the first-generation branched DNA (bDNA-1.0) signal amplificat...
