Compositions and kits for herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 nucleic acid detection

A pair of polynucleotides for HSV detection wherein said pair of polynucleotides is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:3 and SEQ ID NO:4, and SEQ ID NO:3 and, SEQ ID NO:3.

A kit for HSV detection, comprising a polynucleotide for HSV detection having a sequence presented in SEQ ID NO:4, a pair of polynucleotides for polymerase chain reaction wherein a fist polynucleotide of said pair has the sequence presented in SEQ ID NO:1 and a second polynucleotide of said pair has the sequence presented in SEQ ID NO:2, a DNA polymerase, and a buffer suitable for HSV detection and polymerase chain reaction.

A kit for HSV detection, comprising a pair of polynucleotides for HSV detection selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:3 and SEQ ID NO:4, or SEQ ID NO:3 and SEQ ID NO:3, a pair of polynucleotides for polymerase chain reaction wherein a first polynucleotide of said pair for polymerase chain reaction has the sequence presented in SEQ ID NO:1 and a second polynucleotide of said pair for polymerase chain reaction has the sequence presented in SEQ ID NO:2, a DNA polymerase, and a buffer suitable for HSV detection and polymerase chain reaction.
