[Use of polymerase chain reaction with L1 consensus primer for detection of HPV16 and HPV18 in cervical cancer tissues].

Abstract

Biopsy materials of cervical carcinoma including 20 cervical adenocarcinomas and 20 squamous cell carcinomas were collected. A rapid method for determining HPV type was developed, based on DdeI restriction enzymes analysis within the L1 region of HPV, amplified by PCR using consensus primers. The results indicated that HPV type 16 was detected more often in squamous cell carcinomas than in adenocarcinomas (80% vs 15%, P < 0.001), conversely, HPV type 18 was detected significantly more often in adenocarcinoma tissues (45% vs 5%, P < 0.001). These differences may reflect the presence of different virus receptors in cancer cells with different morphologic potential, or, they may indicate that the specific HPV infection actually plays a direct role in the process of carcinogenesis.
