COMPOSITIONS AND ASSAYS TO DETECT SWINE H1N1 INFLUENZA A VIRUS, SEASONAL H1 INFLUENZA A VIRUS AND SEASONAL H3 INFLUENZA A VIRUS NUCLEIC ACIDS

摘要

Methods for detecting the presence or absence of the swine H1N1 influenza A virus, seasonal H1 influenza A virus and/or seasonal H3 influenza A virus nucleic acids in biological samples are disclosed. Compositions that are target-specific nucleic acid sequences and kits comprising target-specific nucleic acid oligomers for amplifying in vitro the swine H1N1 influenza A virus, seasonal H1 influenza A virus and/or seasonal H3 influenza A virus nucleic acid and detecting amplified nucleic acid sequences are disclosed.
