Virus Load Methods Sep 8, 2002 Dear Drs. What is the difference between PCR RNA and PCR bDNA results? Is the bDNA results two times the RNA results, is it a good correlation? The PCR RNA detects until 400 copies/mm3 and less values are nondetectable? The bDNA detects until 50 copies/mm3 and less values are nondetectable? Is it means that 400 copies/mm3 (RNA) is the same 800(DNA)? For each method , which are the ranges for low, medium and high values? Thank you. |

 The answer depends in part on which PCR test is being used. Newer versions of PCR tests will yield almost equivalent results compared to bDNA. | ||||||||
