Abstract excerpt
A quantitative DNA amplification assay for human cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA has been used to evaluate the relationship between quantities of CMV DNA in plasma and those in infected leukocytes (WBC) from human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients. The target sequence for DNA amplification was a region of the immediate-early 1 gene of CMV. The quantitation assay uses an internal control that is coamplified with...
