INHIBITION OF HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS BY ßHAIRPIN-RIBOZYMEß

摘要

The present invention is related to synthetic ribozymes, i.e. ribozymes including a hairpin portion, binding sites for binding to a human papilloma virus (HPV) after viral base 419 or 434, respectively, and cleavage sites for cleaving HPV virus are disclosed. The invention also includes a diagnostic assay for determining the presence of HPV-16 in tissues based on PCR amplification. IMAGE
