Claims
- 1. Method for determining the susceptibility to antiviral drugs of HIV viruses in a biological sample comprising polynucleic acids, with said method comprising:a) releasing, isolating or concentrating the polynucleic, acids present in the sample; b) amplifying part of a protease gene of HIV comprising codons 82 and 84 from the polynucleic acids with at least one suitable primer pair; c) hybridizing the polynucleic acids of step a) or b) with probes having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:267 and SEQ ID NO:354, or probes having sequence complementary to SEQ ID NO:267 and SEQ ID NO:354; wherein said probes are immobilized on a solid support; and d) inferring from the result of step c) whether or not a mutation giving rise to drug resistance is present in said polynucleic acids.
- 2. A method for determining the susceptibility to antiviral drugs of HIV viruses in a biological sample comprising polynucleic acids, with said method comprising:a) releasing, isolating or concentrating the polynucleic acids present in the sample; b) optionally, amplifying part of a protease gene of HIV comprising codons 82 and 84 with at least one suitable primer pair; c) hybridizing the nucleic acids of step a) or b) with probes having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:267 and SEQ ID NO:354, or probes having sequences complementary to SEQ ID NO:267 and SEQ ID NO:354; wherein said probes are immobilized on a solid support; and d) inferring from the result of step c) whether or not a mutation giving rise to drug resistance is present in said polynucleic acids.
- 3. Method according to claim 2 further characterized in that said primer pair is chosen from the following primers: SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 503, SEQ ID NO: 504, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 506, SEQ ID NO: 507, SEQ ID NO: 508 and SEQ ID NO: 509.
- 4. The method of claim 2 wherein step b) comprises amplifying a fragment of the protease gene with at least one 5′-primer specifically hybridizing to a target sequence located at nucleotide position 210 to 260 of the coding portion of the protease gene, in combination with at least one suitable 3′-primer.
- 5. The method of claim 2 wherein step b) comprises amplifying a fragment of the protease gene with at least one 3′-primer specifically hybridizing to a target sequence located at nucleotide position 253 (codon 85) to position 300 of the coding portion of the protease gene, in combination with at least one suitable 5′-primer.
- 6. Method according to claim 4, further characterized in that the 5′-primer is SEQ ID NO: 5 and the 3′-primer is one primer or a combination of primers chosen from the following primers: SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 506, SEQ ID NO: 507, SEQ ID NO: 508 and SEQ ID NO: 509.
- 7. Method according to claim 5, further characterized in that the 5′-primer is one primer or a combination of primer chosen from the following primers: SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 503, SEQ ID NO: 504 and the 3′-primer is SEQ ID NO: 6.
- 8. The method according to claim 1 wherein said primer pair is chosen from the following primers: SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 503, SEQ ID NO: 504, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 506, SEQ ID NO: 507, SEQ ID NO: 508 and SEQ ID NO: 509.
- 9. The method of claim 1 wherein step b) comprises amplifying a fragment of the protease gene with at least one 5′-primer specifically hybridizing to a target sequence located at nucleotide position 210 to 260 of the coding portion of the protease gene, in combination with at least one suitable 3′-primer.
- 10. The method of claim 1 wherein step b) comprises amplifying a fragment of the protease gene with at least one 3′-primer specifically hybridizing to a target sequence located at nucleotide position 253 (codon 85) to position 300, in combination with at least one suitable 5′-primer.
- 11. The method of claim 1 wherein the target sequences for codon 82/84 are provided by SEQ ID NO: 228-357.
