Immunological Testing

Functional Assays

Although CD4 cell counts are good predictors of the risk of opportunistic infection, they are an indirect measure of immune function. Several assays have been developed for testing specific immune responses to HIV-1 and to opportunistic pathogens such as cytomegalovirus (CMV). However, these assays remain research tools and have not been validated for clinical use.
