Reverse transcriptase activity for quantitation of HIV‐1 subtype C in plasma: Relation to RNA copy number and CD4 T‐cell count
Abstract
The present study monitored the changes in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) viral load using a reverse transcriptase (RT) assay and an HIV-1 RNA based assay, and relates these data to the dynamics of CD4 cell counts. The samples examined originate from a prospective study of HIV-1 subtype C infected, untreated Ethiopians followed twice yearly over a period of up to 5 years. The ExaVir Load test, version 1, was used for isolation and …
