International Multicenter Study To Assess a Panel of Reference Materials for Quantification of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus RNA in Plasma

摘要

An international multicenter study was conducted to assess the performance of a panel of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) RNA reference materials for plasma viral load determinations. Reliable quantification was demonstrated across an ∼6 log10 dynamic range. Availability of external reference materials will enable independent calibration of SIV plasma viral load assays.
