| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5580718 | Primers and probes for detection of hepatitis C and novel variants Oligonucleotides primers can be used to amplify and detect Hepatitis C virus nucleic acids in a process that involves reverse transcription of the viral genomic RNA to create cDNA and the subsequent amplification of the cDNA by the polymerase chain reacti... | 12/03/1996 |
| 5550039 | Oligonucleotide primers for HLA class I B locus DNA typing The present invention provides primers for the polymerase chain reaction amplification of a nucleic acid sequence encompassing the polymorphic regions of the second, third, and fourth exons of the HLA Class I B gene (HLA-B). The polymorphic regions of the... | 08/27/1996 |
| 5543296 | Detection of carcinoma metastases by nucleic acid amplification Methods are provided for detecting carcinoma metastases in selected body tissues and fluids. These methods offer greater than 1,000-fold enhanced sensitivity compared to prior standard diagnostic methods. In one embodiment of the invention, target carcino... | 08/06/1996 |
| 5541065 | Method for HLA DP typing A process for determining the genotype of an individual with respect to the alleles at the HLA DP locus involves obtaining a sample of nucleic acid from the individual, and hybridizing the nucleic acids with a panel of probes specific for variant segments... | 07/30/1996 |
| 5527898 | Detection of human papillomavirus by the polymerase chain reaction The presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in a sample can be detected and the HPV typed by a method that involves the amplification of HPV DNA sequences by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The primers used in the method are consensus primers that can... | 06/18/1996 |
| 5527669 | Methods, primers and probes for detection of hepatitis C and novel variants Oligonucleotides primers can be used to amplify and detect Hepatitis C virus nucleic acids in a process that involves reverse transcription of the viral genomic RNA to create cDNA and the subsequent amplification of the cDNA by the polymerase chain reacti... | 06/18/1996 |
