Abstract excerpt
Automatic fluorescence image cytometry (AFIC) is a fast, sensitive, and reliable approach for screening slide-based clinical specimens. In this study, we applied AFIC to identify cancer-associated human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes 16 and 18 in individual cells of cervical smears using a sensitive fluorescence based in situ hybridization (FISH) assay. HPV sequences were labeled by FISH and the cells imaged...
