Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Plasma Load Discrepancies between the Roche COBAS AMPLICOR HIV-1 MONITOR Version 1.5 and the Roche COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HIV-1 Assays

摘要

We compared plasma viral load values obtained with COBAS AMPLICOR human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) MONITOR version 1.5 and with COBAS TaqMan HIV-1 assays. Mean values were 4.2 and 2.9 log₁₀ copies/ml, respectively, showing the lack of agreement between the two assays.
