Abstract
In this study, we examined variables related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) isolation utilizing samples from 51 HIV-infected (153 pla sma and 122 peripheral blood mononuclear cell PBMC samples) and 57 u ninfected (182 plasma and 163 PBMC samples) infants. Our chief observa tion was that cryopreservation of donor PBMCs does not significantly a lter their sensitivity or specificity for isolation of HIV from patien t PBMCs or plasma.
