Title:

APPROACHES FOR HPV DETECTION AND STAGING BY TARGETING THE E6 GENE REGION OF THE VIRAL GENOME

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2001073135

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

The L1/E1 gene region of the HPV virus may be deleted during integration into the genome of the host cell, but the E6/E7 gene region is always retained. There is a need to detect HPV infection and cervical cancer in way that provides information about the stage of infection so that the proper treatment can be undertaken.
