1. A kit containing at least two detection probes specific for a type A1 or type C1 HPV target region, wherein each of the detection probes individually has a contiguous base sequence that is 20 to 28 nucleotides in length and is at least 90% identical to a sequence selected from the group consisting of:
- SEQ ID NOs;
11, 13, 44-47, 49, 51, 52, and 54, complements, RNA equivalents, and RNA/DNA chimerics thereof,wherein at least one detection probe is specific for a type A1 HPV nucleic acid and at least one detection probe is specific for a type C1 HPV nucleic acid, andwherein the detection probe specific for a type A1 HPV nucleic acid is joined to an AE label that is different than an AE label to which the detection probe specific for a type C1 HPV nucleic acid is joined, in order to provide distinguishable signals.

5. A method for detecting the presence of a human papillomavirus (HPV) nucleic acid in a sample comprising the steps of:
-
(a) treating a biological sample suspected of containing a type A1 HPV nucleic acid and/or a type C1 HPV nucleic acid to release intracellular components; (b) separating an HPV nucleic acid away from a component of the biological sample; (c) contacting the separated HPV nucleic acid with at least two detection probes specific for a type A1 or type C1 HPV target region, wherein each of the at least two detection probes individually has a contiguous base sequence that is 20 to 28 nucleotides in length and is at least 90% identical to a sequence selected from the group consisting of;
SEQ ID NOs;
11, 13, 44-47, 49, 51, 52, and 54, complements, RNA equivalents, and RNA/DNA chimerics thereofwherein at least one detection probe is specific for a type A1 HPV nucleic acid and at least one detection probe is specific for a type C1 HPV nucleic acid, and wherein the detection probe specific for a type A1 HPV nucleic acid is joined to an AE label that is different than an AE label to which the detection probe specific for a type C1 HPV nucleic acid is joined, in order to provide distinguishable signals; and (d) detecting a signal that results from hybridization of at least one of the detection probes to an HPV target region to indicate the presence of a type A1 and/or type C1 HPV nucleic acid in the sample. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
