Question 5

How could HIV be directly detected using flow cytometry?
It cannot be detected since it is a virus and viruses are too small to be detected by antibodies.
It cannot be detected since it destroys CD4+ T cells.
Use an anti-HIV monoclonal antibody to label HIV-infected CD4+ T cells.
Use an anti-HIV monoclonal antibody to detect free virus in plasma.
