REFERENCE NO: AHC/1998/3/3.4/1.5 TITLE: RETROVIRUS DETECTION BY ELISA In the ELISA, digoxigenin- and biotin-labeled desoxyuridine-triphosphates are incorporated in the presence of viral reverse transcriptase (RT) during the synthesis of a DNA strand along a synthetic target of single-stranded DNA molecules. The newly synthesized DNA is trapped on streptavidin-coated microtiter plates and subsequently detected immunologically by binding of peroxidase-labeled anti-digoxigenin antibodies and visualized by color development and finally quantified by measuring the bsorbance with an ELISA reader (1). Two different buffers are used to detect Mg2+-dependent RT as well as Mn2+-dependent RT of C-type retroviruses. References: 1.
