Compositions, Methods And Kits For Detecting The Nucleic Acids Of Hiv-1 And Hiv-2
view source
US Patent:

7255996, Aug 14, 2007
Filed:

Dec 16, 2004
Appl. No.:

11/015605
Inventors:

Jeffrey M. Linnen - Poway CA, US
Wen Wu - Carlsbad CA, US
Assignee:

Gen-Probe Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:

C12Q 1/68
US Classification:

435 6
Abstract:

Compositions, methods and kits for detecting the nucleic acids of HIV-1, HIV-2, or the combination of HIV-1 and HIV-2. Particularly described are oligonucleotides that are useful as hybridization probes and amplification primers, including cross-reacting hybridization probes and cross-reacting amplification primers, for detecting very low levels of viral nucleic acids.

Sample Preparation Method Incorporating An Alkaline Shock

US Patent:

7510837, Mar 31, 2009
Filed:

Feb 17, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/356613
Inventors:

Kui Gao - San Diego CA, US
Michael M. Becker - San Diego CA, US
Wen Wu - Carlsbad CA, US
Jeffrey M. Linnen - Poway CA, US
Assignee:

Gen-Probe Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:

C12Q 1/68
US Classification:

435 6
Abstract:

Method of preparing a biological sample appropriate for use in a subsequent in vitro nucleic acid amplification reaction. The method involves a rapid, transient exposure to alkaline conditions which can be achieved by mixing an alkaline solution with a pH-buffered solution that includes a detergent and the biological sample to be tested for the presence of particular nucleic acid species using in vitro amplification. The invented method advantageously can improve detection of some target nucleic acids without substantially compromising detectability of others. The method is particularly useful for simultaneously preparing RNA and DNA templates that can be used in multiplex amplification reactions.
