Patent ID: 7670835

Claim:
An isolated or recombinant nucleic acid comprising a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:14, primers and probes thereof and a conservatively substituted variant of SEQ ID NO: 14, wherein the variant encodes an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:10 and SEQ ID NO:12, and wherein said primers and probes thereof are identifiable by hybridization at 65° C. to the sequence of SEQ ID NO:14, and washing twice with a solution of 40 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.2), 1 mM EDTA and 5% sodium dodecyl sulphate for 30 minutes at 65° C. and washing twice with a solution of 40 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.2), 1 mM EDTA and 1% sodium dodecyl sulphate for 30 minutes at 65° C.
