Comparison of INNO-LiPA HPV Genotyping v2 with PCR product subcloning and sequencing for identification of genital human papillomavirus genotypes in African women.
The performance characteristics of the INNO-LiPA Genotyping v2 test for human papillomavirus (HPV) identification were assessed by comparing results with those obtained by PCR product sequencing after subcloning, in genital samples from 20 highly sexually exposed African women. The INNO-LiPA HPV Genotyping v2 test identified more HPV types than subcloning/sequencing (56 versus 37, respectively). Overall, 86.5% (32/37) of the HPV types identified by subcloning/sequencing were identified by the INNO-LiPA HPV Genotyping v2 test, whereas 57.1% (32/56) of the HPV types identified by the INNO-LiPA HPV Genotyping v2 test were identified by subcloning/sequencing. Of the 20 clinical samples tested, 7 had identical types detected under both methods and a further 11 had more types detected under INNO-LiPA HPV Genotyping v2 than subcloning/sequencing. Of the remaining two samples, the same number of types were detected under both methods, but different types were detected. INNO-LiPA HPV Genotyping v2 test appears as a valid method for identifying HPV subtypes in women with multiple HPV infection.
