AMΔHIV Catalog Number: 1913 Lot Number: 1 03/93 Release Category: A Provided: 1 ml cell-free virus Description: A 267 bp synthetic HIV-1MN gag sequence designed by Dr. Gregory Milman, DAIDS, NIAID, was cloned into the SalI-HindIII site of the retroviral vector pln6 by Drs. Janice Clements and Paula Pitha-Rowe (The Johns Hopkins University). Original Source: A 267 bp gag fragment (sequence supplied by Dr. Gregory Milman, DAIDS) was cloned into the synthetic HIV-1 MN SalI-HindIII sites of the retroviral vector plnl6. The viral particles were collected from infected PA317 cells transfected with the recombinant vector. Host: PA317 packaging cells. Titer: 2.0 x 10 7 copies/ml (Roche) 1.4 x 10 7 copies/ml (NASBA) Special Characteristics: This virus serves as an internal standard for detection of HIV RNA by RT-PCR. The gag fragment contains small deletions to distinguish it from wild type HIV-1 (see attached). SK38/SK39 or SK145/SK101 primers can be used for RT PCR. The amplified product can be distinguished from full-length HIV-1 gag RNA by liquid hybridizaion followed by gel electorphoresis. 1 µl of the virus is sufficient for PCR analysis and quantitation. Gag sequence Sterility: Negative for bacteria and mycoplasma. REV: 12/10/2017 Page 1 of 2

HIV-1 VQA RNA Quantification Standard Catalog Number: 3443 Lot Number: 160004 Release Category: D Provided: 1.25 ml, 150,000 copies HIV-1 RNA/mL spiked into HIV negative human serum to obtain final concentration. Contains EDTA. Description: Quantified live infectious virus spiked into HIV negative human serum. Original Source: HIV-1 qualitative cultures from known positive donors. Special Characteristics: This virus concentrate can be used to quantify HIV-1 RNA for viral detection assays. Virus stock used for this standard is a pool of B subtype HIV cultured from the PBMCs of 5 separate HIV-infected donors who were naïve to antiretroviral treatment. The virus culture supernatants were clarified of all cellular material and pooled. The virus stock was diluted in a commercial pooled true normal serum that is also clarified by filtration and EDTA is added at a final concentration of 6mM to mirror negative human EDTA plasma.
