Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  HIV-1 RT Colorimetric Assay
Description:  The reaction mixture was set with template primer complex, RT enzyme and dNTPs in a lysis buffer with or without inhibitors. The reaction mixture was incubated at 37 °C for 1 h and then transferred to streptavidin-coated microtitre plate (MTP). The biotin-labeled dNTPs that were incorporated in the template due to activity ofRT, bound to streptavidin. The unbound dNTPs were washed using wash buffer and anti-DIG-POD was added to the MTP. The DIGlabeled dNTPs incorporated in the template were bound to an anti-DIG-POD antibody. The unbound anti-DIG-POD was washed again with washing buffer and the peroxide substrate (ABST) was added to the MTP. A colored reaction product was produced during the cleavage of the substrate catalyzed by a peroxide enzyme. The absorbance of the sample was determined as an optical density (OD) at 405 nm using a micro titer plate ELISA reader.
