“…With regard to the HPV screening test, the following HPV genotypes were tested with Anyplex II HPV28 [ 8 ]. Based on Seegene’s proprietary DPO and TOCE technologies, this homogenous assay performs on real time PCR instruments to detect and differentiate 19 high-risk (16, 18, 26, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 69, 73, 82 genotypes) and 9 low-risk (6, 11, 40, 42, 43, 44, 54, 61, 70 genotypes) HPV[ 8 ]. Specimens for anal HPV determination were collected using a swab inserted 3–5 cm into the anus (approximate depth of the squamocolumnar junction), then rotated and placed into a transport tube with 2,5 mL Transport Buffer (guanidine thiocyanate in a Tris buffer).…”
