Claims5
A kit for analyzing a first cell sample from a first species or a cell product derived from said first cell sample, wherein said sample has had previous exposure to cells from a second species or a cell product derived from said cells of said second species comprising:
- a) a container containing first nucleic acid probes specific for nucleic acid derived from said first species, wherein said first nucleic acid probes are selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:
- 3 and 4;
- b) a container containing second nucleic acid probes specific for nucleic acid derived from said second species;
- and
- c) instructions for using said first and second nucleic acid probes for determining the presence or absence of nucleic acid from said second species in said first cell sample.
