A previously presented method for the detection and typing of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA has been modified for the simultaneous analysis of HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33 and 35. The method has two steps, where a dot blot test is used to exclude cases that do not hybridize with HPV-DNA. The remaining cases are then analysed by a Southern blot procedure, using a mixture of subgenomic probes for the simple and accurate analysis of HPV types. When the procedure was used for the analysis of clinical samples, patient groups at varying risk were found to differ with regard to the prevalence of HPV infections. Thus, the virus was detected in only 8.8% of otherwise healthy young women - i.e. women without clinical signs of HPV-related disease - as compared to 48% of women who also had cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). A similarly high prevalence was found in patients in whom CIN persisted (42%) as compared to those in whom the morphological lesion regressed to normal (8%).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D027383 Papillomaviridae A family of small, non-enveloped DNA viruses infecting birds and most mammals, especially humans. They are grouped into multiple genera, but the viruses are highly host-species specific and tissue-restricted. They are commonly divided into hundreds of papillomavirus "types", each with specific gene function and gene control regions, despite sequence homology. Human papillomaviruses are found in the genera ALPHAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; BETAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; GAMMAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; and MUPAPILLOMAVIRUS.
