Abstract
In spite of the impressive technical refinement of the PCR technology, new-generation real-time PCR assays still suffer from two major limitations: the impossibility to control both for PCR artifacts (with the important caveat of false-negative results) and for the efficiency of nucleic acid recovery during the preliminary extraction phase of DNA from the biological sample. The calibrator technology developed at the Unit of Human Virology overcomes both of these limitations, leading to a substantially higher degree of accuracy and reproducibility in the quantification, which is especially useful for the measurement of pathogen loads in sequential samples and for the reliable detection of low-copy pathogens.
