Abstract
A method for determining virus replication in human cells by human retrovirus using RNA amplification comprising detecting the hybridization of an RNA probe which specifically hybridizes with spliced RNA and not with genomic RNA. This method permits early detection of RNA replication resulting from primary infection without detecting non-replicating virus.
