An oligonucleotide probe capable of specifically hybridizing with the gene sequence 3 min -GCGGGCRARGRGGGGGRGCAG-5 min or 5 min -CGCCCGATACACCCCCACGTC-3 min wherein A is adenine, C is cytosine, G is guanine, T is thymine, and R is thymine or uracil. The probe may include at least 15 sequential nucleotides selected from the sequence 5 min -GCCCGATACACCCCCACGT-3 min or 3 min -CGGGCRARGRGGGGGRGCA-5 min The probe may be labelled with a detectable marker, such as an enzyme or biotin, and may be supplied in a diagnostic kit in combination with: a substratum capable of adsorbing DNA or cells, a restriction enzyme, and/or a detergent. |
