Novel polymerase chain reaction method for detecting cutaneous human papillomavirus DNA
3 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
There is no simple test to identify the human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes that cause cutaneous warts. A new polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, called SK-PCR, was developed for this purpose. This PCR amplifies 210-238 base pairs of L1 DNA of 17 HPV types (HPV-1a, -2a, -3, -4, -7, -10, -27, -28, -29, -40, -57, -60, -63, -65, -77, -91, and -94), which are thought to cause various cutaneous warts, including...
