Description

3,5-Diiodo-L-tyrosine (3DILT) is an iodinated amino acid that can be used as a marker for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. It is synthesized by the reaction of 3,5-diiodotyrosine with L-tyrosine in the presence of a metal chelate and dinucleotide phosphate. This reaction proceeds via nucleophilic substitution on the aromatic ring with an iodide ion. The product is then purified to remove unreacted 3,5-diiodotyrosine and the metal chelate. 3DILT reacts with antibodies in a luminescence immunoassay to produce light that can be detected. The detection limit of this assay is 10 pg/mL.
