COMPOSITIONS AND ASSAYS TO DETECT SWINE H1N1 INFLUENZA A VIRUS, SEASONAL H1 INFLUENZA A VIRUS AND SEASONAL H3 INFLUENZA A VIRUS NUCLEIC ACIDS

摘要

There is disclosed a composition for detecting the presence of swine H1N1 influenza A virus comprising at least two oligonucleotides specific for sequences that represent a swine H1N1 influenza A virus genome or transcripts made from the swine H1N1 influenza A virus genome, wherein said at least two oligonucleotides comprise at least 18 contiguous nucleic acids of a sequence selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NO: 42 GTAACGGCAGCATGTCCT; SEQ ID NO: 43 TAGAGACTTTGTTGGTCAGC; and SEQ ID NO: 44 TGGTGAATGCCCCATAGCACGAG.
