Fresh urine pellets from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-seropositive individuals were examined for the presence of the HIV-1 genomic sequence and gene products. By using the polymerase chain reaction technique, HIV-1 DNA proviral sequences were detected in 53 of 80 (66.25%) fresh urine pellets from HIV-1-seropositive individuals, while urine pellets from all 24 healthy heterosexual controls were negative. HIV-1 RNA in urine pellets was detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction in 2 of 43 (4.7%) HIV-1-seropositive individuals. In addition, HIV-1 p24 core antigen was demonstrated in 3 of 80 urine pellets from HIV-1-seropositive individuals by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Moreover, HIV-1 p24 core antigen and HIV-1 RNA were shown in the cellular component of urine pellets from HIV-1-seropositive individuals by immunohistochemical staining and in situ hybridization. These results indicate that HIV-1 can be present in urine pellets from HIV-1-infected individuals.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
