Abstract
The present invention relates to nucleic acid amplification assays for the detection of nucleic acid sequences of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The present invention provides oligonucleotides that are complementary or that anneal to nucleic acid sequences of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The present invention also provides internal amplification controls (IACs) that can be used in nucleic acid amplification reactions.
Claims27
A method for detecting a Neisseria gonorrhoeae target sequence comprising:
- (a) amplifying the target sequence using a first amplification primer having a sequence consisting essentially of the target binding sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOS:
- 1-6, 10-18, or 20-21 and;
- (b) detecting the amplified target sequence.
A method for detecting a Neisseria gonorrhoeae target sequence comprising:
- (a) hybridizing one or more amplification primers having a sequence consisting essentially of the target binding sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOS:
- 1-6, 10-18, or 20-21 and;
- (b) detecting said hybridized amplification primer.
An oligonucleotide having a sequence consisting essentially of the target binding sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOS:
- 1-6, 10-18, or 20-21.
A kit for an amplification or detection reaction comprising an oligonucleotide have a sequence consisting essentially of the target binding sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOS:
- 1-6, 10-18, or 20-21.
