A WEB tool for analysis of spectrophotometric data for the treatment of patients with HIV

Abstract

Quantification of p24 antigen is still very important for HIV management, especially for diagnosis of perinatal human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection. In 1998, M. Giacomini and O. E. Varnier developed a software (Quanti-Kin© Detection System) for p24 quantification, but over the years some problems have arisen. So a new version, with a user friendly interface developed on the web, has been published. Quanti-Kin© Web has introduced some benefits: algorithms for calculation are improved, the maximum error (Delta %) has been reduced from 1364,37 to 103,38, results of experiments can be collected worldwide and patients' privacy is respected.
