Table 1. HIV RNA qPCR from pooled plasma samples at 4 weeks post-infection.
Plasma samples from the HIV p24 negative mice and the p24 positive mice from the groups indicated above were pooled and HIV-1 RNA levels were measured using the Abbott RealTime HIV-1 assay on the m2000 system. The limit of detection was 600 copies/mL.
| Pooled Samples | HIV dose | RNA copies/mL |
|---|---|---|
| No SEVI p24+ | 90,000 TCIU | 8.3 x 106 |
| No SEVI p24− | 90,000 TCIU | Assay inhibited, no data |
| SEVI p24+ | 90,000 TCIU | 7.0 x 106 |
| SEVI p24− | 90,000 TCIU | <600 |
| SEVI p24+ | 10,000 TCIU | 9.7 x 105 |
| SEVI p24− | 10,000 TCIU | <600 |
