Abstract excerpt
In this study, we aimed to develop a cost-effective, practical, and sensitive method to be used for the diagnosis of HPV infections. The presence of HPV-DNA was investigated in cervical smear samples using three different methods: MY09/11 consensus PCR, TaqMan-based type-specific real-time PCR, and SYBR Green-based multiplex PCR. Of the 315 samples, 21.6% (68/315) were HPV-DNA positive by using at least one of...
