Touchdown General Primer (GP5+/GP6+) PCR and optimized sample DNA concentration support the sensitive detection of human papillomavirus
16 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The GP5+/GP6+ PCR assay is a well-established HPV detection technique. This study has examined the effects of incorporating 'hot start' and 'touchdown' steps into the protocol. In addition, dTTP was substituted with dUTP to permit contamination control measures against carry-over PCR product. METHODS: Firstly, HPV-16 was amplified from SiHa cell DNA (0.1 ng-100 ng) diluted in a background of C-33A DNA...
