HIV-1, human immunodeficiency virus 1, is a type of retrovirus that attacks the human immune system. If HIV-1 infection is not treated with anti-retroviral drugs, it can cause Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, otherwise known as AIDS. There are four groups of HIV-1 virus: M, N, O, and P. The group M is further divided into nine subtypes: A, B, C, D, F, G, H, J, and K. ScienCell's HIV-1 Virus One-step RT-PCR Detection Kit (DHIV1) is designed to detect the presence of HIV-1 virus in cultured cells by one-step reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), followed by the electrophoresis analysis of the PCR product. The HIV-1 primer set (included in Cat #7168-ps) targets all four groups, including nine group M subtypes of HIV-1, and gives a positive band at 175 bp. The human control primer set (also included in Cat #7168-ps) targets human B2M gene RNA, but not genomic DNA, with a positive band of 85 bp and acts as a control to assess specimen quality. The positive control (Cat # RU011-pos) consists of noninfectious HIV-1 RNA fragment spiked into human primary cells and serves to ensure reagents and instruments are working properly. In addition, RubyNStart one-step RT-PCR master mix (Cat #MB6058a), RubyNStart enhancer (Cat #MB6058b), cell lysis buffer (Cat #GQ400a), cell lysis buffer enhancer (Cat #GQ400b), and nuclease-free water (Cat #GQ100-4) are included in
the kit. Please refer to Tables 4 and 5 for results interpretation.
HIV-1(人类免疫缺陷病毒1型)是一种攻击人体免疫系统的逆转录病毒。如果不使用抗逆转录病毒药物进行治疗,HIV-1 感染可发展为获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)。HIV-1 病毒分为四个群体:M、N、O 和 P,其中 M 群又进一步分为九个亚型:A、B、C、D、F、G、H、J 和 K。
ScienCell 的 HIV-1 病毒一步法 RT-PCR 检测试剂盒(DHIV1)旨在通过一步法逆转录 PCR(RT-PCR)检测培养细胞中 HIV-1 病毒的存在,并通过对 PCR 产物进行电泳分析来进行结果判定。试剂盒中包含的 HIV-1 引物组(货号 #7168-ps)可检测所有四个群体,包括 M 群的九个亚型,阳性条带为 175 bp。人源对照引物组(同样包含于货号 #7168-ps)靶向人 B2M 基因 RNA(不扩增基因组 DNA),其阳性条带为 85 bp,用作内参以评估样本质量。
阳性对照(货号 #RU011-pos)由掺入人原代细胞中的非感染性 HIV-1 RNA 片段组成,用于确保试剂和仪器正常工作。此外,试剂盒还包含 RubyNStart 一步法 RT-PCR 预混液(货号 #MB6058a)、RubyNStart 增强剂(货号 #MB6058b)、细胞裂解缓冲液(货号 #GQ400a)、细胞裂解缓冲液增强剂(货号 #GQ400b)以及无核酸酶水(货号 #GQ100-4)。结果判读请参见表 4 和表 5。
