3. Circulating RNA and Exosomal Purification Kit Cat 42800 Plasma Serum RNA Purification Kit Cat 55000 If using a different spin column based sample preparation procedure that includes ethanol based wash buffers a column drying step consisting of centrifugation for 10 minutes at 14 000 x g 14 000 RPM using a new collection tube is highly recommended prior to the elution of the RNA This will help to prevent the carry over of any ethanol into the purified RNA as ethanol is known to be a strong inhibitor of PCR Ensure that any traces of ethanol from the sample preparation steps are eliminated prior to the elution of the RNA B RT PCR Assay Preparation Notes Before Use e Before use suitable amounts of all RT PCR components should be completely thawed at room temperature mixed by gentle vortexing or by pipetting and centrifuged briefly e Work quickly on ice e The amount of 2X Real Time RT PCR Master Mix provided is enough for up to 96 RT PCR reactions 48 sample RT PCR 32 positive control standard curve RT PCR and 16 no template control RT PCR e For every RT PCR run one reaction containing the non diluted HIV Positive Control and one reaction as no template control must be included for proper interpretation of results e For quantitative interpretation a dilution series of the positive control RNA should be generated instruction provided below e The recommended minimum number of RNA samples tested per RT PCR run is 6
4. HIV infects primarily vital cells in the human immune system such as helper T cells CD4 T cells macrophages and dendritic cells HIV progresses to AIDS at a variable rate affected by viral host and environmental factors HIV specific treatment delays this process Most people will progress to AIDS within 10 years of HIV infection however others will progress much sooner while some will take much longer Treatment with anti retrovirals increases the life expectancy of people infected with HIV In 2013 around 12 9 million people living with HIV 37 of the total had access to antiretroviral therapy Product Description Norgen s HIV Quantitative RT PCR Kit is a research use only diagnostic test for the detection of HIV specific RNA transcripts The kit could be used for quantification of HIV RNA using end point RT PCR gel electrophoresis based or real time RT PCR detected via SYBR Green with the Primer Set and the Master Mix provided with the kit via amplification of a 142 nt region of the HIV RNA genome In addition the kit contains a quantified Positive Control PosC 20 000 copies per uL that can be used for construction of a dilution series for HIV RNA quantification Norgen s HIV Quantitative RT PCR Kit was developed and validated to be used with the following PCR instruments e Qiagen Rotor Gene Q e BioRad iCycler e BioRad CFX96 Touch Kit Components Component Product 33740 48 Samples 2X Real Time

6. Dilution Series The standard curve can then be used to determine the starting quantity of the sample of interest e For the analysis of the end point RT PCR data the entire 20 uL RT PCR reaction should be loaded on a 1X TAE 2 Agarose DNA gel along with 10 uL of Norgen s DNA Marker provided e The RT PCR products should be resolved on the 1X TAE 2 Agarose gel at 150V for 30 minutes Gel running time will vary depending on an electrophoresis apparatus Valid Test Run e Positive Sample A sample is determined to be positive only when o Sample lanes shows the 142 bp band corresponding to the HIV target amplicon o Positive Control shows the 142 bp band o Positive Control shows the 142 bp band even it is diluted to as little as 20 copies per uL o Negative Control shows no bands e Negative Sample A sample is determined to be negative only when o Sample lanes contain no bands o Positive Control shows the 142 bp band o Negative Control shows no bands Invalid Test Run e A test run is invalid if o The run has not been completed o Positive Control does not show the 142 bp band o Negative Control shows any amplification M 10 10 105 104 10 102 10 109 Nes mM 2000 1500 1000 750 500 300 150 Figure 1 A representative 1X TAE 2 agarose gel showing the amplification of HIV The size of the HIV target amplicon corresponds to the 142 np bp band represented by the provided DNA Marker M No amplification of the target is obs
