Recovery of the analyte over the entire analytical process is determined from matrix spikes, spiked blanks, and surrogate spikes.... A matrix spike is a separate aliquot of a randomly chosen sample to which is added all the analytes of interest before processing of the sample. 1, record 1, English, - matrix%20spike

The coat of the HIV virion bears numerous viral proteins "spikes" that project into the external medium. Each spike probably consists of four molecules of a protein called gp120 on the outside and the same number of gp41 embedded in the membrane. These envelope proteins play a crucial role when HIV binds to, and enters target cells. Underneath the envelope is a layer of matrix protein called p17, which in turn surrounds the core, or capsid. Gp stands for glycoprotein-the proteins are linked to sugars-and the number refers to the mass of the protein, in thousands of daltons. [From source a]. 2, record 2, English, - p17

Le génome viral du VIH comprend 3 gènes principaux soit le gag, le pol et l'env. Les glycoprotéines 120 et gp41 sont codées par le gène env tandis que le gène gag code les protéines du noyau [core proteins] telles les p55, p40, p24,p17 et p7; le gène pol code les protéines p66 et p51 (transcriptase inverse), p11 (protéase), et p32 (intégrase). 1, record 2, French, - p17
