A colorimetric reverse transcriptase assay (cRT assay) was developed for quantitative detection of HIV-1. In this format, reverse transcriptase incorporates biotin-labeled dUTP onto oligo-dT primers hybridized to poly A templates. The templates are covalently bound to the surface of microtiter wells. The amount of incorporated biotin-labeled dUTP is measured by binding horseradish peroxidase conjugated streptavidin, washing away unbound peroxidase, adding colorimetric substrate and then reading with a standard colorimetric reader. The sensitivity of the assay is very good. As little as 3 x 10(5) molecules of recombinant HIV-RT can be detected after 20 h of reaction time. Direct comparison using 3 cultured clinical isolates indicates that this level of detection is equivalent to the commercially available p24 antigen capture assay and the HIV-RNA assay based on branched DNA signal amplification. Other retroviruses, such as HIV-2 and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), can also be detected in this format. This non-isotopic assay is easy to perform and could provide a convenient and quantitative method for HIV study by monitoring reverse transcriptase, an essential activity in the infection process.

D006678 HIV Human immunodeficiency virus. A non-taxonomic and historical term referring to any of two species, specifically HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. Prior to 1986, this was called human T-lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV). From 1986-1990, it was an official species called HIV. Since 1991, HIV was no longer considered an official species name; the two species were designated HIV-1 and HIV-2.
