Related Product Information for HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase assay kit
Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV 1) is a retrovirus that contains, as part of its genome, a reverse transcriptase (RT) gene, that when translated into protein, reverse transcribes HIVs RNA genome into a transducing DNA copy (cDNA). This HIV RT activity is critical during early viral infection. HIV 1 infection results in host cell domination, viral replication, and host cell death. HIV RT is an optimistic target for blocking the virus life cycle and the spread of the virus to neighboring cells. In addition, HIV RT in viral conditioned medium directly correlates with virus propagation in cell-mediated in vitro experimental model systems, therefore HIV RT activity can be used as a marker for HIV 1 growth. MBS, Inc. has developed a 2-hour HIV RT assay for drug screening and a 24-hour assay to detect as little as 1 pg of HIV RT isolated from viral conditioned media. An assay incubation time of 5-6 hours allows the experiment to be completed in one day and will detect 2 pg of HIV RT. The RT assay is qualitative, nonradioactive, colorimetric, and can be used to determine if test articles, compounds, or peptides can inhibit HIV RT activity. The assay can also be used to evaluate HIV RT activity in experimental samples.

Product Notes
The HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase (Catalog #AAA13642) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
