Oligomer nucleotides, compositions, methods, kits, and uses are provided for detecting or quantifying a Human Cytomegalovirus virus 1 (CMV (human herpesvirus 5, HHV5) nucleic acid, e.g., using nucleic acid amplification and hybridization assays. Multiphase amplification of a CMV target sequence is also described. The oligomer nucleotides, compositions, methods, kits, and uses can be used to amplify and/or detect the UL56 gene of CMV. |
