We developed a non-radioisotopic (non-RI) reverse transcriptase assay (RTA). The reverse transcriptase (RT) incorporates biotin-11-deoxyuridine-triphosphate (bio-dUTP) using a poly(rA) template hybridized with oligo(dT) primer that is immobilized on the surface of a 96-well microtiter plate. This assay is thus semi-automated by adapting it to an ELISA testing format. The incorporation of bio-dUTP was enhanced by adding cold dTTP to the reaction mixture, optimally in a molar ratio 4:1 (dTTP:bio-dUTP). This non-RI RTA is more sensitive than the conventional RI assay for the detection of purified Rous-associated virus 2 (RAV-2) and of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) lysate. Because of its simple procedure, higher sensitivity and non-use of RI materials, the assay can be utilized not only for virological studies but also for routine safety screening of biological products for retroviral contamination.

D012190 Retroviridae Family of RNA viruses that infects birds and mammals and encodes the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The family contains seven genera: DELTARETROVIRUS; LENTIVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE B, MAMMALIAN; ALPHARETROVIRUS; GAMMARETROVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE D; and SPUMAVIRUS. A key feature of retrovirus biology is the synthesis of a DNA copy of the genome which is integrated into cellular DNA. After integration it is sometimes not expressed but maintained in a latent state (PROVIRUSES).
