Patent ID: 7829691

Claim:
A composition for detecting a viral nucleic acid comprising: at least two capture sequence probes, wherein each capture sequence probe consists of a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID No: 29, SEQ ID NO: 50 through SEQ ID NO: 62, SEQ ID NO: 75 through SEQ ID NO: 109, SEQ ID NO: 152 through SEQ ID NO: 154, and wherein at least one capture sequence probe is hybridized to a first region of the viral nucleic acid, and at least one blocker sequence probe, wherein the blocker sequence probe consists of a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 30 through SEQ ID No: 49, SEQ ID NO: 63 through SEQ ID NO:74, SEQ ID NO: 110 through SEQ ID NO: 151, SEQ ID NO: 155 through SEQ ID NO: 160, and wherein the blocker sequence probe is hybridized to at least one capture sequence probe that is not hybridized to the first region of viral nucleic acid.
