“…The Human Papillomavirus Genotyping Kit for 23 types (Yaneng Bioscience co., Shen Zhen, China) was used to perform PCR to amplify the conserved region of HPV gene in conjunction with reverse dot blot (RDB) analysis to identify the HPV subtypes. The membrane strips with fixed type-specific probes can detect infections from multiple HPV subtypes including 23 types (HPV 6,11,16,18,31,33,35,39,42,43,45,51,52,53,56,58,59,66,68,73,81,82,and 83). This method had a sensitivity of 104 copies/mL and a specificity of 99%; β-actin was used as an internal positive control (primer sequence of HPV18 E6E7 used in Table S2).…”
