Oligonucleotides for use in determining the presence of human papilloma virus in a test sample
First Claim
1. A hybridization assay probe for use in determining the presence of HPV Type 16 nucleic acid in a sample, said probe comprising an oligonucleotide up to 100 bases in length and having a base region that is at least 70% complementary to an at least 10 contiguous base region present in a nucleic acid target region selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
- 5, SEQ ID NO;
6, SEQ ID NO;

17, SEQ ID NO;
18, SEQ ID NO;
19, SEQ ID NO;
20, SEQ ID NO;
25, SEQ ID NO;
26, SEQ ID NO;
27, SEQ ID NO;
28, SEQ ID NO;
29, SEQ ID NO;
30, SEQ ID NO;
31, SEQ ID NO;
32, SEQ ID NO;
33, SEQ ID NO;
34, SEQ ID NO;
35 and SEQ ID NO;
36, wherein said probe forms a detectable probe;
target duplex with said target region under selective stringency hybridization conditions, and wherein said probe does not form a detectable probe;
non-target duplex with nucleic acid from HPV Type 6, 11, 31,33, 35, 39,45, 51, 52 and/or 58 under said conditions.

Abstract
The present invention describes oligonucleotides targeted to HPV Type 16 and/or Type 18 nucleic acid sequences which are particularly useful to aid in detecting HPV type 16 and or 18. The oligonucleotides can aid in detecting HPV Type 16 and/or Type 18 in different ways such as by acting as hybridization assay probes, helper probes, and/or amplification primers.
