Abstract
The present invention provides a Human Papillomavirus (HPV) detection method, the results capable of being read on specimen slides through in situ hybridization techniques. The method is based on a pair of consensus polynucleotide probes which hybridize type-specifically with clinically important HPV viral types and is capable of distinguishing between malignant and benign HPV viruses. Compositions of the polynucleotide probes in detectably labeled form are also a part of the invention. For correlation of the present method with known polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of HPV, a PCR assay is described.
