A quantification method for integrated viruses

The invention relates to a method of detecting and/or quantifying a virus, such as HIV, integrated in a cellular genome, and to kits useful to perform this method. This two-step method calls for an anchored viral primer and Alu primers for a first round of PCR (Alu PCR) and a primer for the anchor a...

Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method of detecting and/or quantifying a virus, such as HIV, integrated in a cellular genome, and to kits useful to perform this method. This two-step method calls for an anchored viral primer and Alu primers for a first round of PCR (Alu PCR) and a primer for the anchor along with another viral primer for the second round of PCR ("nested PCR").
