Title:
DETERMINING VIRAL LOAD IN DOUBLE NEGATIVE T CELLS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000043551
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for determining viral load in a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus, which is useful in patients where viral loads are not detectable in plasma. The levels of human immunodeficiency virus are measured in CD4<->CD8<-> double negative cells. Furthermore, the invention also provides a kit for determining viral load in a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus.
