A METHOD FOR AMPLIFYING AND DETECTING A TARGET NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCE OF HIV-1

摘要

2127883 9314225 PCTABS00024 A direct method for detecting viral nucleic acid of HIV-1 in a biological sample suspected of containing the target nucleic acid by adsorption of the biological sample onto a solid support coupled to an anti-HIV-1 envelope antibody, followed by amplification of the target nucleic acid sequence and detection of the amplified product. Amplification methods which can be used include the polymerase chain reaction and the ligase chain reaction.
