  • Materials and methods for detection of HPV nucleic acids
    Patent number: 9885092
    Abstract: Provided are nucleic acids capable of hybridizing to HPV 16 and/or HPV 18 nucleic acids, in particular, mRNA encoding E2 and E6-7 gene products. Such nucleic acids are useful in methods of isolating RNA from a biological sample, methods and means for determining the presence of particular RNA splice-form variants in a biological sample, methods and means for determining the relative ratio of RNA ratios in a biological sample, methods and means for predicting the progression of precancerous cervical lesions, and methods and means for detecting disruption of genes or gene expression.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 23, 2012
    Date of Patent: February 6, 2018
    Assignee: QIAGEN GAITHERSBURG INC.
    Inventors: Brian Lowe, Anna K. Fulbright, Irina Nazarenko
  • Non-target amplification method for detection of RNA splice-forms in a sample
    Patent number: 9797000

  • MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR ISOTHERMAL NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION
    Publication number: 20120021460
    Abstract: A method for isothermal amplification of a target nucleic acid sequence is disclosed. The target nucleic acid is amplified by an enzyme with helicase activity and an enzyme with reverse transcriptase activity and DNA-dependant DNA polymerase activity. Also disclosed is a kit for isothermal amplification of a target nucleic acid sequence, including HPV nucleic acids. The kit comprises a first enzyme with helicase activity and a second enzyme having both reverse transcriptase activity and DNA-dependant DNA polymerase activity.
