Abstract
Eighty-six peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples from 30 patients with AIDS were analyzed using a transcription-based amplification system (TAS) and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Human immunodeficiency virus tpe 1 (HIV-1) sequences were detected by amplification-mediated hybridization in 98% of the samples, 52% of which were positive for p24 antigen by ELISA. Neither TAS (93%) nor PCR (95%) detected HIV-1 sequences in all 86 samples. The hybridization-detection methods (slot blot, bead-based sandwich, and solution) used to detect the HIV-1-specific TAS products had a clear influence on the efficiency of detecting and quantitating the levels of HIV-1 present in these samples. The reproducibility of amplification of constant amounts of HIV-1 RNA and β-globin DNA by TAS and PCR was studied over 3 months. The results indicated that variations of 10- and 5-fold in the HIV-1 sequence levels could be detected between samples by TAS and PCR, respectively. Within the range of sensitivities for each assay used, the administration of zidovudine did not appear to reduce the amount of HIV-1 nucleic acid sequences as observed in PBMC obtained serially from six AIDS patients.
