Patent ID: 8563248

Claim:
A method of determining a ratio of IBABP-L polynucleotide to IBABP polynucleotide in a sample that comprises IBABP-L polynucleotide and IBABP polynucleotide, the method comprising (a) contacting the sample with a first probe that hybridizes selectively to IBABP-L polynucleotide; (b) measuring hybridization of the first probe to the IBABP-L polynucleotide in the sample, (c) contacting the sample with a second probe that hybridizes selectively to IBABP polynucleotide and IBABP-L polynucleotide; (d) measuring the hybridization of the second probe to the IBABP polynucleotide and the IBABP-L polynucleotide in the sample; and (e) calculating the ratio of IBABP-L polynucleotide to IBABP polynucleotide in the sample.
