GENERIC HIV DNA Cell [RUO]

 

While viral load of plasma HIV-1 is a biological marker that quantifies the number of viruses that are circulating, HIV-1 cellular DNA quantifies the number of infected cells in a latent or productive way.

​

GENERIC HIV DNA Cell is a research test as part of the evaluation of the HIV-1 reservoir.

​

This test relies on two main technical stages:

1. DNA extraction by manual method (ex. : silica-based membrane technology),

2. Real-time PCR amplification of the extract DNA and detection by TaqMan technology.
