According to the present invention, a means of estimating the place of
origin of a test subject by quickly and conveniently determining the
genome type of JC virus infecting a test subject is provided. The present
invention relates to a set of oligonucleotide probes for determining the
genome type of JC virus infecting a test subject, such set containing:
oligonucleotide probes (a-1) and (a-2); oligonucleotide probes (b-1) and
(b-2); oligonucleotide probes (c-1) and (c-2); oligonucleotide probes
(d-1), (d-2), (d-3), and (d-4); oligonucleotide probes (e-1), (e-2), and
(e-3); oligonucleotide probes (f-1), (f-1), and (f-3); oligonucleotide
probes (g-1), (g-2), and (g-3); oligonucleotide probes (h-1), (h-2),
(h-3), and (h-4); oligonucleotide probes (i-1) and (i-2); oligonucleotide
probes (j-1), (j-2), and (j-3); oligonucleotide probes (k-1), (k-2), and
(k-3); and oligonucleotide probes (l-1) and (l-2).
