Abstract
A method for the simultaneous detection of adenoviruses of subgenera A, B, C, D, E and F in a sample comprising contacting said sample with at least one forward primer and at least one reverse primer for a hexon gene of an adenovirus of subgenera A, B, C, D, E and F and subjecting the sample contacted with said primers to a nucleic acid amplification technique.
Claims22
1-49. (canceled)
A nucleic acid molecule encoding an antigen or a fragment thereof comprising a nucleic acid sequence with at least 15 nucleotides having at least 80% sequence identity to at least a part of a nucleic acid molecule of any of SEQ ID NOs:
- 31 to 65.
An antigen comprising an amino acid sequence of any of SEQ ID NOs:
- 66 to 100.
A method of detection of a single adenovirus serotype, an adenovirus subgenera, or an adenovirus in a sample comprising:
- a) providing a sample comprising a nucleic acid;
- b) contacting the sample with at least one forward primer and at least one reverse primer having at least 80% identity with a portion of a nucleotide sequence of a hexon gene derived from one of the sequences SEQ ID NO:
- 31 to 65;
- and
- c) subjecting the sample contacted with the primers to a nucleic acid amplification technique.
