The kit is used for qualitative fluorescence-based PCR detection of nucleic acid fragments specific to 14 human papillomavirus (HPV) types (HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68) in cervical exfoliated cells in women, as well as for HPV 16/18 genotyping to help diagnose and treat HPV infection.
Epidemiology
The kit is used for the in vitro qualitative detection of 14 types of human papillomaviruses (HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68) specific nucleic acid fragments in human urine samples, female cervical swab samples, and female vaginal swab samples, as well as HPV 16/18 typing, to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of HPV infection.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) belongs to the Papillomaviridae family of a small-molecule, non-enveloped, circular double-stranded DNA virus, with a genome length of about 8000 base pairs (bp). HPV infects humans through direct or indirect contact with contaminated items or sexual transmission. The virus is not only host-specific, but also tissue-specific, and can only infect human skin and mucosal epithelial cells, causing a variety of papillomas or warts in human skin and proliferative damage to reproductive tract epithelium.
