  • Use of conserved oligonucleotide primers to amplify human papillomavirus DNA sequences
    Patent number: 5863717
    Abstract: Two oligonucleotides are provided which function as amplifying primers when used in tandem in the polymerase chain reaction with HPV DNA. The primers are of the formulae:IU: 5'-TIIN.sub.1 IN.sub.1 IIN.sub.2 TAAAACGAAAGT-3'andIWDO: 5'-N.sub.1 TCN.sub.1 N.sub.3 AIGCCCAN.sub.2 TGIACCAT-3'wherein N.sub.1 is A or G, N.sub.2 is C or T and N.sub.3 is A or T.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 3, 1989
    Date of Patent: January 26, 1999
    Assignee: Abbott Laboratories
    Inventors: Wayne D. Lancaster, Lucie Gregoire
  • Human papillomavirus type 52 DNA sequences and methods for employing the same
    Patent number: 5643715
    Abstract: Nucleic acid hybridization probes for human papillomavirus types and particularly human papillomavirus type 52; and methods for employing the same.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 23, 1994
    Date of Patent: July 1, 1997
    Inventor: Wayne D. Lancaster
  • Type-specific papillomavirus DNA sequences and peptides
    Patent number: 5057411
    Abstract: The polynucleotide sequence fragment conferring immunologic specificity to papillomavirus (PV) has been located and isolated. From this information, assays for type-specific PV, including DNA probes, RNA probes, immunoassays and the like are produced. The vaccines against specific PVs may be produced also.Further, the genus-specific amino acid sequence of the L1 capsid protein has been identified.
