| Unit | Conversion factor | Low load | High load |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copies/10^5 peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) | 1 | 8-200 | >200 |
| Copies/ug DNA | 3 | 24-600 | >600 |
| Copies/10^6 PBLs | 10 | 80-2000 | >2000 |
| Copies/mL of blood (about 2 x 10^6 PBLs) | 20 | 160-4000 | >4000 |
| Copies/10^7 B cells | 1000 | 10^4-10^5 | >10^5 |
