Abstract:
1. A method of detecting a HPV Type 16 nucleic acid in a sample comprising the steps of: a) contacting an HPV type 16 amplification product with at least one hybridization assay detection probe that forms a detectable probe: HPV type 16 target hybrid under stringent hybridization conditions, wherein the at least one hybridization assay detection probe comprises a detectable label joined to a contiguous nucleic acid sequence that is from 21 to 27 nucleotides in length, (a) contained within a sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:13 or an RNA equivalent thereof, and contains a sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:34 or an RNA equivalent thereof, or (b) contained within a sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:14 or an RNA equivalent thereof, and contains a sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:33 or an RNA equivalent thereof; and b) detecting a signal from the probe: HPV type 16 target hybrid, thereby indicating the presence of HPV type 16 in the sample.
