OLIGONUCLEOTIDE STARTERS FOR REPRODUCING A NUCLEIC ACID OF HUMAN IMMUNOLOGICAL DEFICIENCY VIRUS OF TYPE 1 (HIV-1), SETS FOR DETECTING AND METHODS OF REPRODUCING A NUCLEIC ACID OF HUMAN IMMUNOLOGICAL DEFICIENCY VIRUS OF TYPE 1 (HIV-1)

摘要

The present invention provides improved primers for thepolymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of a nucleic acidsequence from the gag gene of the human immunodeficiency virustype 1 (HIV-1). The primers and amplification methods of theinvention enable the detection of all HIV-1 group M isolates withnearly uniform efficiency.
