The tissues from 16 cases of adenosquamous carcinoma (pseudoglandular squamous cell carcinoma or adenoacanthoma of the sweat glands of Lever) and 26 cases of invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva were studied for the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) genomes using Southern blot hybridization on fresh tissues. Types 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 16, and 18 HPV DNA probes and in situ hybridization were used on formalin-fixed paraffin sections using type 2, 6, 16, and 18 HPV DNA probes. Only one case of adenosquamous carcinoma contained an undetermined type of HPV DNA, whereas five cases of squamous cell carcinoma contained HPV DNA. Three of these five cases contained type 16, one type 6 HPV, and two an undetermined type. These results demonstrate HPV DNA associations with malignancy of the vulva that are similar to those observed elsewhere in the genital tract.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007118 Immunoassay A technique using antibodies for identifying or quantifying a substance. Usually the substance being studied serves as antigen both in antibody production and in measurement of antibody by the test substance. Immunochromatographic Assay,Assay, Immunochromatographic,Assays, Immunochromatographic,Immunoassays,Immunochromatographic Assays
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.
