Using Droplet Digital PCR to Quantify Levels of HIV Reservoirs

Dr. Gary Lee, Senior Scientist at Sangamo BioSciences, Inc., and his team use Bio-Rad's Droplet Digital PCR system to quantify the level of HIV reservoirs in patients treated with their unique zinc-finger-based HIV therapy. With the need to detect approximately one copy of HIV in 1,000 cells analyzed, this quantification would challenge conventional methods.
