Applikationshinweise
1) It is extremely effective for screening new specific inhibitors for HIV virus as a drug for treating AIDS. 2) Generally,Gag and Env proteins are employed as antigens for detecting anti-HIV-1 antibody. However,by using this enzyme in combination as an antigen,the detection will be more sensitive. 3) Reverse transcriptases are used in the first step of RT-PCR reaction for converting RNA to DNA. The HIV-1 reverse transcriptase can also be applied for RT-PCR method. 4) Standards for SDS-PAGE

HIV-1 reverse transcriptase is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase derived from HIV-1 (AIDS virus), subtype B origin. It also has RNaseH activity and is an enzyme indispensable for reproduction of AIDS virus. This protein is uniquely over-expressed as a recombinant protein in E. coli by a patented method and highly purified. It is composed of two subunits whose molecular weights are 66 kD and 51 kD, same as the those of the enzyme purified from AIDS virus particles.
