Abstract

Nucleic acid sequences for detecting the presence of nucleic acids, particularly mRNA, encoding human prostate-associated genetic markers encoding prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) or human kallikrein 2 (hK2) are disclosed. Preferred combinations of nucleic acid sequences amplifying and detecting the prostate-associated genetic markers RNA, used in methods that include amplification of the target sequences and detection of the amplified sequences are disclosed. Methods of detecting the presence of prostate-associated genetic marker nucleic acids, particularly mRNA, in a biological sample of non-prostate origin are disclosed.
