ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides improved primers for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of a nucleic acid sequence from the gag gene of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). The primers and amplification methods of the invention enable the detection of all HIV-1 group M isolates with nearly uniform efficiency.
