Claim 0:
1. A combination of oligomers comprising at least first and second amplification oligomers, wherein the first and second amplification oligomers are reverse and forward amplification oligomers, respectively, and are configured to specifically hybridize to first and second sites in the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 39 and generate an amplicon therefrom, respectively;
wherein the first site is in the complement of SEQ ID NO: 52 and the first amplification oligomer comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO:53 or SEQ ID NO:54;
wherein the second site is in the complement of SEQ ID NO: 46 and the second amplification oligomer comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 47 or SEQ ID NO:48; and
wherein at least one of the amplification oligomers is a promoter-primer and/or the combination further comprises at least one probe oligomer that comprises at least 10 nucleotides, is configured to specifically hybridize to an amplicon produced from the first and second amplification oligomers, and (i) comprises 2′-O-methyl-ribose in its backbone and/or (ii) comprises a non-nucleotide detectable label.
