逆转录病毒及逆转录酶检测方法研究评述

Detection Methods for Retroviruses and Reverse Transcriptase:Commentary

逆转录病毒常被作为载体,用于目的蛋白的表达或目的基因的嵌合。尽管,实验室选用的都是非感染性病毒,但并不能排除这些病毒不会对人类造成伤害。逆转录病毒的监督和检测具有非常重要的意义。逆转录酶活性又是逆转录病毒存在活性的重要标志。因此,本文将有关逆转录病毒及逆转录酶检测的方法做一综述,望对研究者有参考意义。

Retroviruses are often used as a carrier for expression of target protein or chimeric target gene. Although non-infectious viruses are selected in the laboratory, it does not exclude harms form these viru- ses. The monitoring and detection of retroviruses has a very important significance. Reverse transcriptase activity is an important indicator of retrovirus replication. Herein, methods for detection of retroviruses and reverse transcriptase are reviewed for further research references.
