Considerations and limitations for establishing an Intact Proviral DNA Assay (IPDA) on a chip-based digital PCR system for HIV-1 reservoir quantification
The intact proviral DNA assay (IPDA) has become a gold standard for HIV-1 reservoir quantification in HIV-1 latency research, as well as in the evaluation of HIV-1 cure strategies. In this work, we adjusted the IPDA assay to a chip-based digital PCR (dPCR) system, established the use of CCR5 as a different reference gene, and evaluated the performance on cell lines, clinical samples from people with HIV (PWH) off and on antiretroviral therapy (ART), and different HIV-1 subtypes. Our adapted IPDA performs well on the chip-based dPCR system with no false positive intact HIV-1 in negative controls and with less hands-on time compared to droplet-based dPCR systems. Undetectable intact HIV-1 DNA is common in clinical samples on ART and correlated with total HIV-1 reservoir size and sample input concentration for HIV-1 subtype B samples. Performance on non-B subtypes varies depending on the subtype and should be improved with subtype specific primer/probe combinations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Virological Methods focuses on original, high quality research papers that describe novel and comprehensively tested methods which enhance human, animal, plant, bacterial or environmental virology and prions research and discovery.
The methods may include, but not limited to, the study of:
Viral components and morphology-
Virus isolation, propagation and development of viral vectors-
Viral pathogenesis, oncogenesis, vaccines and antivirals-
Virus replication, host-pathogen interactions and responses-
Virus transmission, prevention, control and treatment-
Viral metagenomics and virome-
Virus ecology, adaption and evolution-
Applied virology such as nanotechnology-
Viral diagnosis with novelty and comprehensive evaluation.
We seek articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and laboratory protocols that include comprehensive technical details with statistical confirmations that provide validations against current best practice, international standards or quality assurance programs and which advance knowledge in virology leading to improved medical, veterinary or agricultural practices and management.
