Effect of errors in the sequence of optical densities from the Roche AMPLICOR HIV-1 MONITOR assay on the validity of assay results.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Specifications for the AMPLICOR HIV-1 MONITOR kit indicate that the results are invalid if the optical densities (ODs) from the PCR-amplified sample that are between 0.1 and 2.3 units are out of sequence. However, among 11,904 assays, results were biased only when ODs of 0.2 to 2.0 units were out of sequence, reducing the rate of invalid results from 3.2 to 0.59%.

متن کاملComparison of the QUANTIPLEX HIV-1 RNA 2.0 assay with the AMPLICOR HIV-1 MONITOR 1.0 assay for quantitation of levels of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 RNA in plasma of patients receiving stavudine-didanosine combination therapy.
We compared the QUANTIPLEX HIV-1 RNA 2.0 assay with the AMPLICOR HIV-1 MONITOR 1.0 assay for quantitation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA in plasma in the Stadi trail, which evaluated a stavudine plus didanosine combination therapy in 52 patients. HIV-1 RNA baseline values measured with AMPLICOR HIV-1 MONITOR 1.0 were significantly higher than those measured with QUANTIPLEX H...
متن کاملMulticenter evaluation of the NucliSens EasyQ HIV-1 v1.1 assay for the quantitative detection of HIV-1 RNA in plasma.
The Nuclisens EasyQ HIV-1 v1.1 assay (Biomerieux) is a real-time detection method combined with NASBA technology designed to measure plasma HIV-RNA. Its performance was assessed in 1008 clinical specimens collected from individuals infected with clade B (774) and non-B (234) HIV-1 variants at four European laboratories. The results were compared with those obtained using three other commercial ...
متن کاملUse of Sno Strip filter-paper wicks for collection of genital-tract samples allows reproducible determination of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA viral load with a commercial HIV-1 viral load assay.
To assess the reproducibility of measurements of cervical and vaginal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) viral load, 92 duplicate cervical and 88 duplicate vaginal samples were collected from 13 HIV-infected women using Sno Strip filter-paper wicks. RNA was eluted from the strips, extracted, and assayed using a modified protocol for the Roche Cobas Amplicor HIV-1 Monitor assay. Pearson's correl...
متن کاملComparison of the Amplicor HIV-1 monitor test and the nucleic acid sequence-based amplification assay for quantitation of human immunodeficiency virus RNA in plasma, serum, and plasma subjected to freeze-thaw cycles.
The Amplicor HIV-1 Monitor test was compared to the nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (Nasba) assay system for the quantitation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) RNA in three different types of clinical samples: plasma, serum, and plasma subjected to freeze-and-thaw cycles. Each assay detected HIV RNA in the same 73 (90%) of 81 samples tested, and the quantitative results obtained w...
