Abstract excerpt
A competitive polymerase chain reaction/temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR/TGGE) protocol was developed for exact quantification of HIV-1 proviral DNA copy numbers in clinical samples. An internal standard (ST) that differs from wildtype-sequences only by a single base exchange was used as a competitor in PCR. Quantification of HIV-1 target sequences was achieved by coamplification of defined copy...
