Funded Activity Summary

CD4 T-cells are the target of HIV-AIDS infection, and monitoring of HIV-infected patients for these cells is an essential part of disease management. Current CD4 testing methods rely on expensive equipment and reagents and high levels of training, or else they have low throughput that limits their use. This project will develop a standard laboratory assay method for testing CD4 T-cells, increasing the access of patients to CD4 testing, and to HIV therapy, worldwide.
