Quantification of RNA in HIV Type 1 Subtypes D and G by NucliSens and Amplicor Assays in Abidjan, Ivory Coast

摘要: We have compared the performance of NucliSens and standard modified HIV Monitor assays to quantify HIV-1 RNA plasma viral load in 12 tuberculosis patients infected with env subtype D (n = 3) G 9) Ivory Coast. was quantified all nine specimens by Amplicor (mean, 4.6 log10 copies/ml; range, 3.1-6.3 log10/ml), seven 4.4 2.7-5.5 copies/ml), 6 assay 4.2 3.5-5.0 copies/ml. All three 3 samples were amplified both 4.5 3.8-5.1 copies/ml) 3.8 2.8-5.0 copies/ml); two 3.0 2.4-3.6 copies/ml). Our preliminary results suggest that H...
