Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods, reagents and kits for detection of all known human variants of influenza A virus and at least 90% of avian and swine variants of influenza A virus in biological samples.SOLUTION: A set of polynucleotides capable of amplifying at least 90% of human, swine and avian variants of influenza A virus comprises at least one primer pair comprising: a forward primer comprising at least 10 consecutive nucleotides of a particular base sequence or a complementary strand thereof, and a reverse primer comprising at least 10 consecutive nucleotides of a particular sequence or a complementary strand thereof. A kit for amplifying influenza A virus variants comprises a pair of primers comprising a forward primer and a reverse primer. There is provided a method of detecting the presence of at least 90% of variants of influenza A virus.
