  • Publication number: 20210214810
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to oligonucleotide sequences for amplification primers and their use in performing nucleic acid amplifications of HCV, in particular regions that encode the NS3 polypeptide. In some embodiments the primers are used in nested PCR methods for the detection or sequencing of HCV NS3. The oligonucleotide sequences are also provided assembled as kits that can be used to amplify and detect or sequence HCV NS3.

  • Patent number: 10851428
    Abstract: The present invention is based in part on the present inventors' appreciation that certain sequences within an HIV genome are more likely to successfully detect HIV across a breadth of HIV variants. The ability to detect and/or quantify the presence and/or load of HIV in a subject is important to, among other things, the diagnosis and treatment of infected individuals. The present invention is based, in part, on the discovery of oligonucleotide reagents that detectably amplify sequences from a greater breadth of HIV samples than certain prior reagents and/or that generate amplicons from HIV genomes from which certain prior reagents would not have generated amplicons. Oligonucleotide reagents as described herein provide unexpected benefits in the detection and/or quantification of the presence and/or load of HIV in a subject, and thereby in the diagnosis and treatment of HIV.

  • Patent number: 8446040
    Abstract: A system and method for adaptive control of power among a plurality of loads based on a categorization of the loads as either delayable or non-delayable, wherein the non-delayable loads are preferably supplied power over the delayable loads. In one aspect, the system may be used to allocate limited power from a backup power source.
