Patent ID: 8715939

Claim:
A method for specifically detecting an Adenovirus target nucleic acid in a sample comprising the steps of: (a) contacting a sample suspected of containing at least an Adenovirus nucleic acid with a first amplification primer comprising a nucleotide sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO: 27, a second amplification primer comprising a nucleotide sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO: 28, and a third amplification primer and a fourth amplification primer respectively comprising a nucleotide sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO: 25 and SEQ ID NO: 26, SEQ ID NO: 33 and SEQ ID NO: 34, or SEQ ID NO: 31 and SEQ ID NO: 26; (b) providing conditions sufficient for generating an amplicon from an Adenovirus target nucleic acid present in said sample using said amplification primers from step (a); and (c) providing conditions for detecting said amplicon and determining whether an Adenovirus target nucleic acid is present in said sample.
