International multicenter study to assess a panel of reference materials for quantification of simian immunodeficiency virus RNA in plasma.

ABSTRACT: An international multicenter study was conducted to assess the performance of a panel of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) RNA reference materials for plasma viral load determinations. Reliable quantification was demonstrated across an approximately 6 log(10) dynamic range. Availability of external reference materials will enable independent calibration of SIV plasma viral load assays.
