Compositions and method for detecting hepatitis a virus nucleic acids in single-plex or multiplex assays

Compositions and method for detecting human parvovirus nucleic acid and for detecting hepatitis A virus nucleic acids in single-plex or multiplex assays

Hybridization assay detection probes targeted to HPV Type 16 nucleic acid sequences which are particularly useful to aid in detecting HPV type 16 are described. The oligonucleotides can aid in detecting HPV Type 16 by acting singly or as part of a detection probe mixture. Compositions, reaction mixtures and methods of use are provided.

Hybridization assay detection probes for detecting human papilloma virus in a sample

Oligonucleotides targeted to HPV Type 16 and/or Type 18 nucleic acid sequences which are particularly useful to aid in detecting HPV type 16 and or 18 are described. The oligonucleotides can aid in detecting HPV Type 16 and/or Type 18 in different ways such as by acting as hybridization assay probes, helper probes, and/or amplification primers.

Oligonucleotides for detecting human papilloma virus in a test sample

The present invention describes oligonucleotides targeted to HPV Type 16 and/or Type 18 nucleic acid sequences which are particularly useful to aid in detecting HPV type 16 and or 18. The oligonucleotides can aid in detecting HPV Type 16 and/or Type 18 in different ways such as by acting as hybridization assay probes, helper probes, and/or amplification primers.

Oligonucleotides for use in determining the presence of human papilloma virus in a test sample

Hybridization probes and accessory oligonucleotides useful for detecting ribosomal nucleic acids from and with high specificity.

Polynucleotide probes for detection and quantitation of candida species

Polynucleotide probes and accessory helper oligonucleotides useful for detecting bacteria that are members of the genus Staphylococcus. The hybridization probes are highly specific for Staphylococcal bacteria and do not cross-hybridize with the rRNA or rDNA of numerous other bacterial and fungal species.

Polynucleotide probes for detection and quantitation of staphylococcus

Polynucleotides useful for specifically detecting bacteria in the family Enterobacteriaceae. Probes and accessory &ldquo;helper oligonucleotides&rdquo; are disclosed for use in hybridizing the rRNA and rDNA of Enterobacteriaceae without substantially cross-hybridizing with the rRNA or rDNA of numerous other bacterial and fungal species.

Polynucleotide probes for detection and quantitation of bacteria in the family enterobacteriaceae

Polynucleotide probes and accessory helper oligonucleotides useful for detecting the subset of High (G&plus;C) subset of Gram-positive bacteria known as the &ldquo;Actinomycetes.&rdquo; The hybridization probes are highly specific for the Actinomycetes and do not cross-hybridize with the rRNA or rDNA of numerous other bacterial and fungal species.

Polynucleotide probes for detection and quantitation of actinomycetes

Hybridization assay probes are described which are able to distinguish Ureaplasma and known strains or serotypes of the species Ureaplasma urealyticum found in humans from other related organisms.
