VPCIR ™ IAD
The VPCIRTM IAD (Integrase Activity Detection) products are focused on measurement of retroviral integrases. A retrovirus is a type of virus that inserts a copy of its RNA genome into the DNA of a host cell that it invades, thus changing the genome of that cell. Retroviral integrase is an enzyme produced by a retrovirus that integrates its genetic information into that of the host cell it infects. By detecting the integrase activity in a sample, VPCIRTM IAD thus can demonstrate presence of an active infection by a retrovirus.
VPCIR ™ IAD are used for:
- Diagnosis of active HIV
- Diagnosis of retroviral infections in animals
