A second generation of RT-PCR assay for detection of human immunodefi ciency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection
Aim A spesifi c and rapid diagnosis such as RT-PCR asay is the most needed to minimize transmission of HIV-1 infection. Therefore, in this study we developed the RT-PCR assay that was spesifi c against the gag gene of HIV-1. Methods The developed RT-PCR assay was evaluated against 46 specimens that were obtained from voluntary counseling and testing for HIV (VCT) in Rumah Sakit Umum Pemerintah ...
متن کاملClinical Evaluation of a Low Cost, In-House Developed Real-Time RT-PCR Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Quantitation Assay for HIV-1 Infected Patients
OBJECTIVES HIV-1 viral quantitation is essential for treatment monitoring. An in-house assay would decrease financial barriers to access. MATERIALS AND METHODS A real-time competitive RT-PCR in house assay (Sing-IH) was developed in Singapore. Using HXB2 as reference, the assay's primers and probes were designed to generate a 183-bp product that overlaps a portion of the LTR region and gag re...
متن کاملapplication of sybr-green real time rt-pcr for quantification of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (hiv-1) and comparison with cobas amplicor test
objective: in this study, a sybr green real-time rt-pcr assay for quantification of hiv-1 viral rna was developed. materials and methods: this assay was performed based on amplification of the pol region of hiv-1 and product analysis by an abi 7500 system. we quantified hiv-1 viral load in 26 seropositive patients by this system and the data were subsequently compared with results obtained wit...
متن کاملa novel sensitive multiplex rt-pcr elisa method for detection of hiv-1/hcv co-infection
objective: despite sensitive antibody based blood donor screening, infection can be transmitted during window period. therefore sensetive methods bosed on nucleic acid tests (nats) have been considered. the aim of this project was to design a more sensitive method for detection of pcr products and diagnosis of hiv-1/hcv co-infection accurately. materials and methods: after designing specific p...
متن کاملA rapid RT-PCR assay for the detection of HIV-1 in human plasma specimens.
INTRODUCTION The CDC estimates that there are currently over 1million people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) in the United States, with new cases increasing by approximately 50,000 each year. HIV-1 consists of four distinct groups: the major M group, and the rare N, O, and P groups, each comprising of various subtypes. Without proper care, HIV-1 can lead to cardiovascular, kidn...
