“…18 For HPV typing, internal, biotinylated A6 ⁄A8 PCR products were hybridized with 36 type-specific digoxigenin-labelled oligonucleotide probes in an enzyme immunoassay. 19 Anal cancer biopsies were additionally HPV typed using a bead-based multiplex genotyping assay as described before. 17 HPV types 16, 18, 26, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51-53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 73 and 82 were considered as high-risk a-HPV types.…”
