Abstract:
1. A method for determining the presence or absence of the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7 in a cell, the method comprising: a) contacting the cell with a probe or primer comprising a substantially purified oligonucleotide, said oligonucleotide consisting of a nucleic acid sequence complementary to the coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7, said probe or primer being from 8 consecutive nucleic acid residues in length up to and including the full length complementary sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7, said probe or primer being sufficient to hybridize under at least moderately stringent conditions with the coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7, and wherein said probe or primer comprises a label for detection; and b) detecting hybridization of said probe or primer to a nucleic acid from said cell, and; optionally determining by sequence analysis whether the nucleic acid that hybridizes to said probe or primer is SEQ ID NO: 7.
