Abstract: It is intended to provide novel primers to be used in gene amplification reactions for detecting human cytokeratins (Human CK). A primer containing an oligonucleotide comprising a base sequence which is selected from among the the 270- to 1375-th regions of the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 and the regions of complementary strands thereof and represented by, for example, any of SEQ ID NOS:2 to 341 is constructed. Further, a primer containing an oligonucleotide comprising a base sequence which is selected from among the 270- to 930-th regions of the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:342 and the regions of complementary strands thereof and represented by, for example, any of SEQ ID NOS:343 to 434 is constructed.
