Abstract
The invention relates to isolated nucleic acid molecules coding for toxins associated with Kawasaki Syndrome. Also described are various applications of the nucleic acid molecules.
Claims6
Isolated nucleic acid molecule which codes for a protein having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
Method for identifying presence of Staphylococcus aureus which contains a nucleic acid molecule consisting of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 in a sample, comprising contacting a sample believed to contain said Staphylococcus aureus with a pair of primer nucleic acid molecules which hybridize to the nucleic acid molecule of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, amplifying the nucleic acid molecule of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 following hybridization of the pair of primer nucleic acid molecules thereto, isloating product produced by said amplifying, and sequencing said product, wherein a product with the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 is indicative of said Staphylococcus aureus in said sample.
