Patent ID: 8026066

Claim:
A combination of oligonucleotides for detecting human papillomavirus (HPV) target sequences in multiple HPV types, the combination of oligonucleotides comprising amplification oligomers for amplifying a region of an E6/E7 gene from HPV, wherein the amplification oligomers are a first amplification oligonucleotide that is SEQ ID No. 38, its complement and/or RNA equivalent and one or more second amplification oligonucleotides comprising sequences selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID Nos. 42, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, complements thereof and/or RNA equivalents thereof, wherein at least one of the amplification oligonucleotides may include a 5′ promoter sequence that is non-complementary to an HPV target sequence.
