  • Detection of HTLVI and HTLVII viruses by hybridization
    Patent number: 5268268
    Abstract: The presence or absence of a nucleic acid sequence of an isolate of HTLVI and/or HTLVII in a sample containing one or more nucleic acids and suspected of containing such sequence can be detected by amplifying the sequence using primers to form extension products as templates and detecting the amplified product if it is present. This may be accomplished by adding a labeled hybridization probe to the amplified product, either free in solution or after immobilization on a solid support.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 1991
    Date of Patent: December 7, 1993
    Assignees: Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., Research Foundation of State University of New York
    Inventors: John J. Sninsky, Shirley Y. Kwok, Bernard Poiesz
  • Oligonucleotides and kits for detection of HTLVI and HTLVII viruses by hybridization
    Patent number: 5079351
    Abstract: The presence or absence of a nucleic acid sequence of an isolate of HTLVI and/or HTLVII in a sample containing one or more nucleic acids and suspected of containing such sequence can be detected by amplifying the sequence using primers to form extension products as templates and detecting the amplified product if it is present. This may be accomplished by adding a labeled hydridization probe to the amplified product, either free in solution or after immobilization on a solid support.
