1 Feb 1992
Abstract excerpt
The presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) types 2, 6, 7, 11, 13 and 16 DNA in cytologic scrapings of oral mucosa was studied in 309 women with genital HPV infections. The objective was to test the usefulness of oral mucosal scrapings (3 sequential swabs) in HPV DNA detection by dot blot hybridization. Based on hybridization with the 32P-labelled Alu-repeat probe, most samples contained more than 10(5) cells,...
