Abstract
The invention is directed to methods for determining the level of telomerase reverse transcriptase activity in mammalian cells. The method comprises binding the telomerase reverse transcriptase obtained from the mammalian cells to a solid support by contacting the telomerase with an anti-telomerase antibody bound to a solid support and then measuring the level of activity of the bound telomerase in a reaction where the telomerase can extend a first primer to produce an extension product and qualitatively or quantitatively detecting the extension product.
