Can you use flow cytometry for calculating viral load? Just make antibodies against gp120 and/or gp41, and link 'em to fluorophores. And could this be a possible treatment for AIDS: synthesize a peptide nucleic acid --which is much more resistant to degradation, since neither nucleases nor proteases recognize it-- which is the antisense strand for the...
