Abstract excerpt
Two sampling methods, biopsy and cell smear, were investigated for their reliability in the biotin in-situ hybridization test for human papilloma virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HPV-DNA)-6/11 and 16/18. Cervical smears and biopsies were obtained simultaneously from 81 women with cervical lesions. The sensitivity of the in-situ hybridization was tested on human cervical carcinoma cell lines. As a reference method,...
