Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods for producing an immune response to a benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) virus are disclosed herein. In several examples, the immune response is a protective immune response. In additional embodiments, methods are disclosed for inhibiting an infection with BPH virus, or treating an infection with BPH virus. Also disclosed are methods for detecting presence of BPH virus in a subject. The methods include detecting the presence of one or more BPH virus polynucleotides or polypeptides in a sample from the subject, or presence of at least one antibody that specifically binds to a BPH virus polypeptide.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method of detecting benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) virus in a human subject, comprising: contacting a sample obtained from the human subject with a detectably labeled probe comprising the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 73 or SEQ ID NO: 74, a forward primer comprising the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 71 and a reverse primer comprising the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 72; carrying out real-time PCR; and detecting the detectably labeled probe…
