摘要

COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING HEPATITIS B Abstract Compositions, methods and kits for detecting viral nucleic acids. Targets that can 5 be detected in accordance with the invention include HBV and/or HIV-1 and/or HCV nucleic acids. Particularly described are oligonucleotides that are useful as hybridization probes and amplification primers that facilitate detection of very low levels of HBV nucleic acids.
