Molecular detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) in highly fragmented DNA from cervical cancer biopsies using double-nested PCR
1 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Archived Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens can be a valuable source of human papillomavirus (HPV) nucleic acids for molecular biological analyses in retrospective studies. Although successful amplification with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is essential for analysis of HPV DNA extracted from cervical FFPE specimens, extensive DNA damage due to cross-linking and fragmentation results in...
