Detection and typing of human papillomavirus DNA by PCR using consensus primers in various cervical lesions of Korean women
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
The association between cervical cancers and human papillomavirus (HPV) is now well established. To estimate the extent of infection with common HPVs among Korean women, we have examined 224 cervical scrapes of various cervical lesions. Detection and typing of HPVs were done by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using consensus primers followed by restriction enzyme digestion and PCR using type-specific primers. The...
