  • Specific nucleic acid fragments of the gene for human villin-their use for diagnostic purposes
    Patent number: 5652101
    Abstract: The invention relates to nucleic acid fragments characterized in that they comprise from 8 to 40 nucleotides and in that their sequence is contained either in the DNA coding sequence of the gene for human villin or in any DNA fragment exactly complementary to one of the former and hence containing the same number of deoxynucleotides, or any corresponding RNA fragment containing the same number of ribonucleotides. The invention also relates to the application of these fragments to a procedure for the in vitro detection of the presence of a nucleic acid characteristic of human villin.
