  • Nucleic acid primers and probes for detecting Mycoplasma pneumoniae
    Patent number: 5817463
    Abstract: Nucleic acid sequences that are useful for detecting Mycoplasma pneumoniae are herein provided. These sequences can be used in hybridization assays or amplification based assays designed to detect the presence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in a test sample. Additionally, the sequences can be provided as part of a kit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 28, 1996
    Date of Patent: October 6, 1998
    Assignee: Abbott Laboratories
    Inventors: Carolyn R. Mullen, Joann C. Sustachek
  • Amplification of RNA sequences using the ligase chain reaction
    Patent number: 5686272
    Abstract: The present invention involves a method of amplifying RNA by producing complementary DNA (cDNA) by reverse transcription of RNA, and amplification of the cDNA sequences. The analysis of the amplified material facilitates the detection of pathogens and disease states associated with the presence of particular nucleic acid sequences, so the present invention is important in medical diagnostic procedures. A method of producing cDNA of predetermined length is also disclosed.
