ResDetect™ HIV-1 p24 ELISA Kit (Residue Testing)

The Gag protein from retroviruses, also known as p24, forms the inner protein layer of the nucleocapsid. It is composed of two domains, the N-terminal domain (NTD), which contributes to viral core formation, and the C-terminal domain (CTD), which is required for capsid dimerisation, Gag oligomerization and viral formation. This protein performs highly complex orchestrated tasks during the assembly, budding, maturation and infection stages of the viral replication cycle. During viral assembly, the proteins form membrane associations and self-associations that ultimately result in budding of an immature virion from the infected cell. Gag precursors also function during viral assembly to selectively bind and package two plus strands of genomic RNA.

This kit is developed for quantitative detection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 p24 (HIV-1 p24) in samples from CAR-T product preparation processing where it is used as a lentivirus vector.

1. Unopened kit should be stored at 2°C-8°C upon receiving. 2. Find the expiration date on the outside packaging and do not use reagents past their expiration date. 3. The opened kit should be stored per components table. The shelf life is 30 days from the date of opening.

This assay kit employs a standard sandwich-ELISA format, providing a rapid detection of HIV-1 p24. The kit consists of Pre-coated Anti-HIV-1 p24 Antibody Microplate and HIV-1 p24 Standard and Biotin-Anti-HIV-1 p24 Antibody and Streptavidin-HRP and buffers.
