| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for specifically detecting and identifying retroviral nucleic acids/retroviruses in any item to be examined using RT-PCR and reverse dot blot hybridization (RDBH) as well as to diagnosis kits for carrying out said method. The invention also relates to retrovirus-specific, oligonucleotide/primer mixtures (MOP) which comprise forward primers and reverse primers and which are provided for generating amplification products of retrovirus-specific nucleic acids from the item to be examined. These inventive primary mixtures (MOP-ABD, MOP-C) are comprised of retrovirus-specific, degenerated oligonucleotides which correspond to the highly conserved regions located within the reverse transcriptase gene (RT-gene) of all known human retroviruses and which have a head or extension sequence consisting of a clamping and interface sequence. The invention also relates to retrovirus-specific probes for the RDBH, whereby defined quantities of synthetically produced, precisely defined nucleic acid sequences are concerned which stem from the reverse transcriptase gene of those retroviruses already characterized, against which the item to be examined should be tested, and which do not overlap at all with the nucleotide sequences of the forward primers and reverse primers used in the PCR or RT-PCR.
