HLVd Detection Kits
Hop latent viroid (HLVd) is a single-stranded, circular infectious RNA of 256 nucleotides. Initially it was believed that this viroid did not produce any symptoms of disease, thus the inclusion of the term latent in the viroid name. However it is now known that HLVd infection occurs worldwide in hop (Humulus lupulus) and is deleterious to production in certain cultivars. Quantitative changes in some secondary metabolites in the secretory glands forming lupulin are induced by HLVd infection, indicating that the viroid is not truly latent. Hop Latent Viroid infection depends on the metabolism of the host plant, and it’s replication and pathogenesis are mediated by its structural features and its ability to interact with cellular factors.
There are 2 kits available for the detection of HLVd:
For research use only and NOT intended for in vitro diagnostics.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix, Control Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots. All reagents can be stored for 1 year at -20°C without showing any reduction in performance.
