Evaluation of the Abbott LCx quantitative assay for measurement of human immunodeficiency virus RNA in plasma

Abstract

Plasma human immunodeficiency virus RNA in 491 clinical specimens was measured by LCx. There was a strong correlation with the results provided by other methods (r(2) values of 0.93 with Cobas-Monitor version 1.5 and of 0.95 with Quantiplex version 3.0). However, values were uniformly higher with LCx than with Quantiplex when non-B subtypes were tested.
