HYBRIDIZATION ASSAY DETECTION PROBES FOR DETECTING HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS IN A SAMPLE

摘要

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.

1. A composition for detecting HPV type 16 nucleic acid from a sample, wherein the composition comprises at least one hybridization assay detection probe comprising a detectable label joined to a contiguous nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: nucleic acid sequences that are from 21 to 27 nucleotides in length, are contained within the sequence that is SEQ ID NO:13 or the complement and/or RNA equivalent thereof, and contain SEQ ID NO:33 or the complement and/or RNA equivalent thereof.
