Abstract:
:Some new commercial methods for the extraction of viral RNA have been introduced recently. In addition to the study published previously (Verhofstede, C., Reniers, S., Van Wanzeele. F., Plum J., 1996. AIDS 8, 1421-1427), seven different methods (four newly developed and three reference methods) for extraction of HIV-1 RNA from plasma have been evaluated. The RNA preparation method that gave the best results (acceptable reproducibility, highest sensitivity, reasonable price, fast and easy to perform), was the QIAamp Viral RNA kit from QIAgen. The High Pure Viral RNA Kit (Boehringer Mannheim) as well as the non-commercialised extraction kits were also very sensitive. The non-commercial tests seem less suitable for routine use and for the processing of large number of samples. Two methods, RNA Insta-Pure LS (Eurogentec) and PANext RNA extraction kit 1 (NTL, PANsystems GmbH) are not adapted for HIV plasma extraction. The single step methods using glass fibre or silica column are rapid (from 60 to 75 min depending on the number of wash steps) and although the price is high they are cheaper than the Boom extraction methods: High Pure Viral RNA Kit (Boehringer Mannheim) ($3.3/sample), QIAamp Viral RNA Kit (Qiagen) ($3.6/sample), Boom extraction ($5/sample). The Qiagen kit is the only kit that combines sensitivity with reproducibility, it is commercialised, rapid and affordable in price and can be automated. For most of the methods evaluated the inter-test variability was acceptable (mean variation coefficient between duplicate extractions varied between 26.4 and 48.6%).
