Applied Biosystems™ HIV-1 Genotyping Kit with Integrase

Beschreibung

• Designed to genotype the protease, reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase (IN) regions of the HIV-1 pol gene
• The genotyping result encompasses codons 6-99 in the protease region and codons 1-251 in the RT region of the gene
• HIV-1 genomic mutations in these regions confer resistance to anti-retroviral drugs that act through the inhibition of the protease and reverse transcriptase
• The kit enables reliable genotyping of the genetically diverse HIV-1 virus to investigate Drug Resistance Mutations (DRMs) to protease inhibitors (PI) , nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI), and integrase inhibitors (INSTI) from HIV-1 RNA extracted from EDTA plasma and dried blood spot samples
• This product employs assays for HIV-1 genotyping licensed from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
• Kit contains ready-to-use master mix, enzyme, and positive and negative controls to cover the three phases of the workflow: RT-PCR, nested PCR, and bidirectional cycle sequencing steps to process 48 test samples
• Starting with viral RNA extracted from an EDTA plasma or dried blood spot sample, RT-PCR is conducted to generate PR/RT and IN PCR products as DNA template
• After confirming the band size of the PCR amplicons, the Cycle Sequencing module is used to sequence the DNA templates utilizing Sanger sequencing technology
• The sequencing reactions are first purified, then sequenced using POP-7 on a designated capillary electrophoresis system
• The sequencing traces are reviewed for quality, after which the user exports the AB1 file for use in downstream analysis and reporting software a mutation profile through a curated database
