Stability of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 proviral DNA in whole-blood samples
Jennings, C., Danilovic, A., Scianna, S., Brambilla, D., & Bremer, JW. (2005). Stability of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 proviral DNA in whole-blood samples. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 43(8), 4249-4250.
