Abstract
Provided herein are primer/probe sets useful for detecting HIV (i.e. either or both HIV 1 or HIV 2) in a test sample. The primer/probe sets are can be employed according to nucleic acid amplification procedures including PCR or RT PCR. The primer/probe sets can also be provided in the form of a kit with other reagents for performing a nucleic acid amplification reaction.
Claims9
A primer/probe set for detecting HIV 1 or HIV 2 selected from the primer/probe sets consisting of:
- primer/probe set 1 (SEQ ID NOs 2, 3 and 4);
- primer/probe set 2 (SEQ ID NOs 5, 6 and 7);
- primer/probe set 3 (SEQ ID NOs 8, 9, 10 and 11);
- primer/probe set 4 (SEQ ID NOs 12, 13 and 14);
- primer/probe set 5 (SEQ ID NOs 16, 17 and 18);
- primer/probe set 6 (SEQ ID NOs 19, 20 and 21 or 22);
- primer/probe set 7 (SEQ ID NOs 23, 20 and 21);
- and primer/probe set 8 (SEQ ID NOs 16, 24 and 18).
