Human papillomavirus genotype specificity of hybrid capture 2 low-risk probe cocktail.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A genotyping study of 285 Hybrid Capture 2 low-risk probe cocktail-positive specimens showed cross-reactivity with several untargeted human papillomavirus genotypes. Cross-reactivity was often clinically beneficial due to the detection of untargeted low-risk genotypes. A total of 8.4% of positive results, usually weak, were due to cross-reactivity with high-risk genotypes. Establishment of a gray zone is recommended.

BACKGROUND The Abbott RealTime High Risk HPV test (RealTime) is a novel assay designed to detect 14 high-risk human papillomavirus genotypes (hr-HPV) and concurrently distinguish HPV-16 and HPV-18 from other hr-HPV within a single test. OBJECTIVE To evaluate analytical specificity and clinical sensitivity for cervical carcinoma and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3) of the Real...
متن کاملHuman papillomavirus genotype specificity of hybrid capture 2.
Hybrid Capture 2 (hc2), a clinical test for carcinogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA, has proven to be a sensitive but only modestly specific predictor of cervical precancer and cancer risk. Some of its nonspecificity for clinical end points can be ascribed to cross-reactivity with noncarcinogenic HPV genotypes. However, the reference genotyping tests that have been used for these comparison...
متن کاملPrevalence and Genotype Distribution of Human Papillomavirus in a Population of Iranian Men
Background and purpose: Human papillomavirus (HPV) often infects humans through sexual contact. Men are carriers of the HPV virus and inadvertently transmit the virus to their sexual partners while being asymptomatic. In many countries strategies are focused on controlling the virus in women and the role of men is ignored. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HPV infection a...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) and 15 species that cause sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in negative cytology. In addition, we compared the diagnostic performance of multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with widely available techniques used to detect HPV. METHODS We recruited 235 women of reproductive age who had nega...

OBJECTIVE To validate the efficacy of Seeplex HPV4A ACE for the detection of high-risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV 16 and/or HPV 18 genotypes as compared to the PCR method and the Cervista HPV assays in cervical swab samples. METHODS Besides liquid-based cytology, additional 97 cervical swab samples were collected for HPV genotyping by HPV4A ACE, Cervista HPV assays, and PCR metho...
