Development and prototype manufacture of a high-throughput CD4 T-cell test for management of HIV/AIDS infections

CD 4 T细胞是HIV/AIDS感染的目标，监测HIV感染患者的这些细胞是疾病管理的重要组成部分。目前的CD 4检测方法依赖于昂贵的设备和试剂以及高水平的培训，否则它们的吞吐量低，限制了它们的使用。该项目将开发一种用于检测CD 4 T细胞的标准实验室检测方法，增加全世界患者接受CD 4检测和艾滋病毒治疗的机会。

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.
