Abstract:
A method for detecting a nucleic acid in a biological sample, wherein the nucleic acid encodes a peptide capable of specifically binding to a Lym-1 antibody the method comprising the following steps, in the following order:(a) contacting the sample with an oligonucleotide primer pair capable of amplifying a subsequence of an MHC nucleic acid, which subsequence encodes a polypeptide having a sequence comprising R1-R2-R3-R4-R5-R6-R7-R8-R9-R10-R11-R12-R13-R14-R15-R16, wherein R1 is Gln, Lys , or Arg; R2 is Arg; R3 and R4are members independently selected from the group consisting of all amino acids; R5 is Ala, Glu, Asp, Val, Leu or Ile; R6 and R7 are members independently selected from the group consisting of all amino acids; R8 is Thr; R9, R10, R11, R12, R13, R14, and R15 are members independently selected from the group consisting of all amino acids; and, R16 is Val (SEQ ID NO:2), (b) amplifying the nucleic acid; and (c) detecting the amplified nucleic acid.
