Background
Anti-Human Immunodeficiency Virus Reverse Transcriptase is an antibody meant to target the Reverse Transcriptase (RT) efficiency in HIV infections. RT allows the viral RNA to be transcribed to host DNA and synthesize new DNA composed of the virusÕ genome. Because RT also exhibits RNaseH activity, it enables the production of a DNA/RNA hybrid used for synthesis. Additionally, it can cause errors during transcription, creating difficulties in isolating the virus and promoting further infection.
Positive Control
Specificity: Recognizes an epitope on HIV-RT that is different from AS34 epitope.
Immunogen
Recombinant immuno-deficiency virus reverse transcriptase (HIV- RT).
Purification Method
Protein A/G Chromatography
Purity
≥95%
Concentration
See vial for concentration
Formulation
Provided as a 0.2µm sterile-filtered solution in Ca++ & Mg++ free Dulbecco's PBS with 0.08% sodium azide.
Functional Analysis
ELISA
Applications
Applications: ELISA: The biotin form of this antibody has been used as solution phase Ab at 2 ug/ml in a two site ELISA with AS34. Typically the ELISA has a working range of 2-500 ng/ml and a sensitivity of <1 ng/ml HIV-RT. Recommended sample volumes are 50-200 ml. Immunoprecipitation: This antibody has been used to immunoprecipitate > 90% HIV-RT in solution using a double-antibody method (Midgley and Hepburn). Immunoprecipitation has also been accomplished using Protein G agarose.
