Nucleotide sequences of retroviral genomes of types HIV-I, HIV-2 and SIV, their uses for the amplification of these genomes and diagnosis in vitro of these viral infections.
Nucleotide sequences of retroviral genomes of types HIV-I, HIV-2 and SIV, their uses for the amplification of these genomes and diagnosis in vitro of these viral infections.
Oligonucleotide (I), comprising a specific sequence (A) of the gene gag or gene pol, and susceptible to hybridize at 60[deg]C+-1[deg]C with the genomes of viruses HIV-1 Bru, HIV-1 Mal, HIV-1 Eli, HIV-2 Rod or SIV Mac; or a sequence complementary to a sequence (A), is new. Independent claims are also included for: (1) couple of oligonucleotide primers (II), for carrying out a gene amplification of the gene gag or gene pol of the virus of the type HIV-1 Bru, HIV-1 Mal, HIV-1 Eli, HIV-2 Rod or SIV Ma, where the primers consists each one of: a specific sequence of the gene gag or gene pol, and susceptible to hybridize at 60[deg]C+-1[deg]C with the genomes of viruses HIV-1 Bru, HIV-1 Mal, HIV-1 Eli, HIV-2 Rod or SIV Mac; or a sequence complementary to the sequence (A); (2) a process of gene amplification of nucleic sequences of the gene gag or the gene pol of virus of type (HIV-1 and/or HIV-2, and/or SIV, from a biological sample, comprising: (a) a stage of extraction of the nucleic acid to be detected belonging to the genome of the virus of the HIV-1 type, HIV-2 or SIV, optionally present in the biological sample, and optionally a stage of treatment using a reverse transcriptase of the nucleic acid if the latter is in the form of RNA; (b) a cycle comprising: denaturation of the double stranded nucleic acid to be detected, which leads to the formation of a single strand nucleic acid, hybridization of each strand of nucleic acid, obtained at the stage of denaturation, with at least a primer or a couple of primers of (II), by setting in contact the strands with at least a couple of the primers, formation from primers, of complementary DNA strands on which they are hybridized in the presence of a DNA polymerase and four different nucleosides triphosphate (NTP), which leads to the formation of a greater number of double strand nucleic acid to be detected at the stage of preceding denaturation, and repetition of the cycle for a determined number of times to obtain the nucleic sequence to be detected optionally present in the biological sample in a proportion sufficient to allow its detection; and (c) a stage of detection of the optional presence of the nucleic acid belonging to the genome of the virus in the biological sample; and (3) a kit for carrying out the process of gene amplification of nucleic sequences of the gene gag or the gene pol of virus of type (HIV-1 and/or HIV-2, and/or SIV, from a biological sample, comprising: at least a primer or a couple of oligonucleotidic primers of (II); reagents appropriate to be used in cycle of amplification, in particular DNA polymerase, four different nucleotide triphosphate, and buffer 10X; and one (or several) probe, can be marked, capable of hybridizing with the amplified sequence of nucleic acid to be detected.
