Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to methods for identifying and/or distinguishing polioviral strains, in particular polioviral strains used in vaccine production. The methods are based on selective hybridisation with oligonucleotides, i.e. primers and/or probes, that allow to distinguish between closely related but different polioviral strains on the basis of nucleotidepolymorphisms existing between those polioviral strains. Preferably, the methods employ amplification or amplification-ligation assays for detecting the selective hybridisation. The invention further relates to oligonucleotides for use in the methods of the invention and kits comprising such oligonucleotides and optionally enzymes and buffers for carrying out the methods of the invention. |
