Comparison of the LCx human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) RNA quantitative, RealTime HIV, and COBAS AmpliPrep-COBAS TaqMan assays for quantitation of HIV type 1 RNA in plasma.
The LCx human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) RNA Quantitative, RealTime HIV, and COBAS AmpliPrep-COBAS TaqMan assays for HIV type 1 (HIV-1) were compared for their abilities to quantitate HIV-1 RNA in plasma. High degrees of correlation and agreement were observed between the assays. Differences in HIV-1 RNA levels according to HIV-1 subtypes did not reach statistical significance.
