“…Detection of HPV DNA was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using SPF primers, 12 which amplify a fragment of 75 base pairs of the viral genome and developed to promote sensitive amplification of the most clinically relevant HPV genotypes. The assay is capable of detecting the genotypes currently known as high risk HPVs (16,18,26,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,53,56,58,59,66,68, 73 e 82), as well as low-risk HPV genotypes (6,11,40,43,44,54,70) and some additional types.…”
