COMPOSITIONS, METHODS AND KITS FOR DETECTING THE NUCLEIC ACIDS OF HIV-1 AND HIV-2

摘要

Compositions, methods and kits for detecting the nucleic acids of HIV-1, HIV-2, or the combination of HIV-1 and HIV-2. Particularly described are oligonucleotides that are useful as hybridization probes and amplification primers, including cross-reacting hybridization probes and cross-reacting amplification primers, for detecting very low levels of viral nucleic acids.
