  • Method for the prevention of carryover contamination in nucleic acid amplification technologies
    Patent number: 8669061
    Abstract: An improved method of preventing carryover contamination of an amplification reaction involves treating uracil-containing DNA with uracil-N-DNA glycosylase and heating the DNA in the presence of polyamines, such as spermidine, spermine and the like. Alternatively, after treatment with uracil-N-DNA glycosylase, the reaction is further incubated with an enzyme having AP lyase activity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 16, 2009
    Date of Patent: March 11, 2014
    Assignee: Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Amar Gupta, Stephen Gordon Will, Roy Bohenzky, Janine Montiel

  • Sentinel virus II
    Publication number: 20030165540
    Abstract: The invention relates to a new virus, designated H101.c33 or Sentinel Virus II (SVII). Isolated SVII viruses, polynucleotides and proteins from SVII viruses, and antibodies which bind SVII virus and SVII viral proteins are provided. The polynucleotides, proteins, and antibodies of the invention may be used to detect SVII virus or infection by SVII virus in a susceptible individual. Additionally, polynucleotides of the invention may be inserted into recombinant expression vectors for recombinant production of viral proteins.
