Rapid detection of human papillomavirus in cervical scrapes by combined general primer-mediated and type-specific polymerase chain reaction
1 Dec 1990
Abstract excerpt
A two-step polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure was used as a new screening strategy for the detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes in cervical scrapes omitting prior DNA extraction. Sample preparation consisted of a freeze-thaw step followed by boiling the cells before the PCR mixture was added. This pretreatment was as efficient and reproducible for HPV DNA amplification as DNA purification. By...
