Correlation of Viral Load Assays
Roche TaqMan v2.0 vs. | Roche Amplicor Monitor v1.5 | Roche TaqMan v1.0 | Abbott m2000 | Siemens bDNA v3.0 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Subtype B | 0.997 | 0.948 | 0.997 | 0.952 |
Subtype C | 0.883 | 0.872 | 0.837 | 0.891 |
The correlation coefficients for four viral load assays, each vs. the Roche TaqMan v2.0, were calculated separately for U.S. (subtype B; N=20) and South African (subtype C; N=37) samples.
