Fifty one biopsies from women with malignant lesions of the uterine cervix and 9 biopsies fron non-malignant lesions were examined for the presence of HPV 16 and 18 DNA sequences by in situ hybridization method using 35S-labelled DNA probes. HPV 16 DNA sequences were detected in 82.4 per cent biopsies from women with malignant lesions, whereas HPV 18 DNA was detected in only 3 biopsies which were also positive for HPV 16 DNA. Two biopsies from non-malignant lesions were positive for HPV 16 DNA only. Data were also analysed according to the histologic type of cancer. It was observed that no significant correlation existed between HPV types and different histologic types of cervical cancer.

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.
