Protein bead array for the detection of HIV-1 antibodies from fresh plasma and dried-blood-spot specimens.
the observed differences between the two methods. Our study is even more intriguing if we consider that, very recently, a new molecular form of PTH, with structural integrity of the PTH(1– 4) region and a modified PTH(15–20) region, has been identified by HPLC in primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism (21). In fact, this newly discovered form of PTH appears to be immu-noreactive and detectab...
متن کاملField study of dried blood spot specimens for HIV-1 drug resistance genotyping.
Dried blood spots (DBS) are an alternative specimen type for HIV drug resistance genotyping in resource-limited settings. Data relating to the impact of DBS storage and shipment conditions on genotyping efficiency under field conditions are limited. We compared the genotyping efficiencies and resistance profiles of DBS stored and shipped at different temperatures to those of plasma specimens co...
متن کاملDetermination of HIV-1 viral load on dried blood spot specimens
Dried blood spot specimens on filter paper were evaluated to determine the viral load of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), through the Cobas®Ampliprep/Cobas®Taqman® HIV-1 test. RNA levels were quantified in pairs of plasma and dry blood spot specimens on filter paper from persons infected with HIV-1. The Pearson linear correlation coefficient was calculated as well as the agreeme...
متن کاملNext-generation sequencing of dried blood spot specimens: a novel approach to HIV drug-resistance surveillance.
BACKGROUND HIV drug-resistance (DR) surveillance in resource-limited settings can be performed using dried blood spots (DBS) because of ease of collection, transportation and storage. Analysis of pooled specimens on next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based platforms, such as the 454 pyrosequencing, is an efficient sequencing method for determining HIV DR rates. In this study, we conducted HIV DR ...
متن کاملField evaluation of a broadly sensitive HIV-1 in-house genotyping assay for use with both plasma and dried blood spot specimens in a resource-limited country.
HIV-1 drug resistance (HIVDR) assays are important tools in clinical management of HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and surveillance of drug-resistant variants at population levels. The high cost associated with commercial assays hinders their use in resource-limited settings. We adopted and validated a low-cost in-house assay using 68 matched plasma and dried blood spot (D...
