title: Detection and typing of human papillomavirus DNA from cervical biopsies by the slot-blot hybridization method.
abstract: Cervical biopsies collected from 105 consecutive patients participating in a prospective follow-up study for cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infections were tested for the presence of HPV 6, 11, 16 and 18 DNA by the slot-blot hybridization method. Detectable HPV types 6 and 11 could be distinguished in high stringency hybridization assay. The overall HPV-DNA detection rate was 35.2% in our group of patients. The slot-blot technique is more rapid than Southern-blotting procedure and well suited for analysis of multiple specimens.
