A Multiplex Droplet Digital PCR Assay for Quantification of HTLV-1c DNA Proviral Load and T-Cells from Blood and Respiratory Exudates Sampled in a Remote Setting

2018-07-08

Abstract excerpt

During human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) infection the frequency of cells harboring an integrated copy of viral cDNA, the proviral load (PVL), is the main risk factor for progression of HTLV-1-associated diseases. Accurate quantification of provirus by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) is a powerful diagnostic tool with emerging uses for monitoring viral expression. Current ddPCR techniques quantify HTLV-1 PVL...
